SOUL FLARES
Reconnecting with Our Wild Souls Retreat -August 2011 in Bolinas
Who are We?
Soul Flares was born out of the belief that the change we need to see in the world begins inside each of us as a small light —a soul flare waiting to be expressed.When we dissolve the boundaries that separate us from our truth and beauty, from each other, and from nature we create the conditions for each of us to shine more brightly. Motivated by love instead of fear or shame, we become a collective force for good.
My work at Soul Flares is inspired by people like Rosa Parks who wrote: “I will no longer act on the outside in a way that contradicts the truth that I hold deeply on the inside. I will no longer act as if I were less than the whole person I know myself to be.”With one humble act of courage, Rosa showed the world the power of shining the light of her own truth.
Soul Flares works to give courage, inspiration, and support to organizations and individuals who are committed to shining their light, or who wish to be ignited by other's.

One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Soul on deck shines like gold in dark times. The light of the soul throws sparks, can send up flares, builds signal fires, causes proper matters to catch fire. To display the lantern of soul in shadowy times like these--to be fierce and to show mercy toward others, both, are acts of immense bravery and greatest necessity. Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it. If you would help to calm the tumult, this is one of the strongest things you can do.
- Clarissa Pinkola Estes, from her essay "Letter to a Young Activist During Troubled Times"
