Relationships | Led by Catherine Shainberg | 24-26 April 2026 | Online | 9:00 AM – 3:00 PM EST (US) | adjust for UK, EU, ASIA, AU
In association with SOI Slovenia, Catherine Shainberg, founder of SOI, leads a deeply introspective weekend workshop to revitalize our connection with the Inner Self, so that we can be better relate across the many varied degrees of external relationships, from superficial to soulmate. We will delve into the nature of duality in relationship and develop a greater understanding of what makes for a soulmate (soul match). Catherine will introduce you to Saphire® Imagery exercises that explore the underlying reasons for these very charged relationships. We will explore how to call for and find our soul mates; and how to allow them to fulfill us and make us one again.
We live in relationship. Should we exist as hermits on top of a mountain, we would still relate…to the blade of grass, the brook, the sun, the creator. By simply focusing on an object, a tree or another person, we create the twosome, I–It or I–Thou, that is a fundamental law of our
Universe.
In this world of duality, we are always looking for—or else fighting against—that other half, whether it’s hot/cold, wet/dry, male/female. Just as our right hand will look for our left, or heaven for the earth, so are we looking for—or fearing—the perfect fit that will make us whole.
We call this other part of the equation a soulmate. Why soul? Is it gender opposite in the physical sense? Or can the equation be same-gender twins like Castor and Pollux? Can family, friends or even groups of people be soulmates? What causes us to be drawn to one person and not to another? Is it accidental or purposeful? Chance or destiny? How do we recognize that so-and-so or a particular group are soul mates or soul families? Does the law of attraction mean that we’ve met before in other lifetimes?
Are there laws to finding the perfect soul match? And if we think we have found our match, how do we make sense of the fact that we do not “live happily ever after” but continue to struggle?
With soul connections we are dealing with a range of emotions, such as desire to possess or swallow up the other; the bliss of a perfect match; the balance from union of equals. Many myths and fairy tales describe the quest for the perfect fit of shoe/soul/princess, and the kiss that awakens her. Beauty and the Beast are two opposites of the same equation. And this equation, recognized, transforms them from adversaries to a loving pair.
Don’t miss this fascinating 3-day dive into the intricacies of our inner world, the poles of duality in relationship and the reach of the soul.
