If you've ever wondered what was missing-or felt out of step with the social and cultural programming of the westernized worldview-Soul Authority will empower you to find balance, build your soul sanctuary, and become a powerful agent of positive transformation. There is a soul authority that exists in all of us, a higher knowing that connects us to each other, the living Earth, and back to ourselves-even as we live in a world that sows division, destruction, and uncertainty. Shamanic eco-psychologist Loraine Van Tuyl, PhD, shows you how to tap into this innate wisdom, giving you the tools to trust its insights, hear its voice, and come home to our interrelated collective soul. Interwoven with stories from the author's personal journey from growing up in Suriname during a military coup to pursuing her doctorate in clinical psychology amid a profound spiritual awakening, Soul Authority is an inspiring alchemical exploration of rekindling the deep knowing that's accessible to all of us. Through exercises, reflections, and concrete action steps, you'll discover: How to find your own True North, the guiding compass aligned with your inner truth; Practical skills for combatting the burnout, overwhelm, and disconnection that prevents us from making a bigger impact in the world; How to tap into the soul mission that nourishes your purpose; How your healing journey and collective liberation are interconnected; How to heal the ''ancestral deficit'' and ''nature deficit'' that leave you overwhelmed; Strategies for grounding, clearing, visibility, and creativity.
