Soul Projects

Soul Projects or Spiral of Your Life Projects is a new age, open minded and homely non-profit organization that was set-up in early 2008. It was born out of the dream to create spiritual volunteer expeditions and adventure treks that have the unique blend of combining together volunteering on local community projects, hiking, camping, conservation work, extreme adventure and yoga & meditation practice. Giving you a deep, well-balanced ‘down to earth spirituality’ experience, perfect for an inspiring and rewarding adventure abroad or gap year.

Soul Projects ultimate VISION is:

To set-up a range of projects that will give people from all over the globe opportunities to work together in remote places, in different parts of the world, with different cultures, giving real experiences that change lives and enhance spiritual development.

To give people the opportunity to have adventurous travel experiences that are deeply internally rewarding, while at the same time helping to support the local communities in the most positively active and sustainable way as possible.

To inspire individuals and communities to be more conscious and aware of the importance of having such experiences in their lives and to encourage and give people the support they need to eventually have the courage, to take the leap of freedom into the unknown for themselves.

OUR PHILOSOPHY IS…

To spread a message of love, peace, beauty and internal balance through the creative human art of ideas, insights and action, throughout the world and throughout the cosmos.

To give people the chance to be a part of something positive, grow internally and the chance to really make a difference in the world.

To enhance peoples' awareness, feeling and sensitivity to life, the spirit and the energy in the universe, through the interaction with other people from around the world and our living breathing planet.

To explore the mystery of life, question consciousness, reality and the power of the mind.

To help awaken the ‘inner warrior’ that is in everyone. Encouraging people to follow their hearts and live their dreams.

To help restore our deep inner connection with the natural world, and in doing so guide people in re-discovering the path to spiritual enlightenment and understanding the power of ‘living in the now.’

To ultimately act as a ‘pointer tool’ to the realization of who we really are. That we are already whole, complete, happy and perfect if we just learn how to ‘open our eyes’ to it.

Duration / Dates

All our expeditions here in Guatemala are either 4, 7 or 10 weeks long. We run four full 10 week expeditions each year.

We do try to encourage all of our Soul Trekkers to commit to the Full 10 Weeks of the expedition. This is so that you are simply more able to gain and ultimately give the most from the experience, especially as the expedition as a whole, is structured and designed specifically to be a 10 week progressive soulful journey in itself!

However, we do appreciate that it is not always possible for all travellers to commit to this length of time. Therefore we have created the following three expedition opportunities for our Soul Trekkers:

4 WEEK NEW MOON EXPEDITION
7 WEEK CRESCENT MOON EXPEDITION
10 WEEK FULL MOON EXPEDITION

WHAT IS AN EXPEDITION?

An ‘Expedition’ through our eyes, is an experiential ‘journey’ or ‘voyage’ that is undertaken by a group of people sharing a similar vision, goal or set of objectives.
Originally you undertake this journey in order to experience and learn more about yourself and the ‘physical’ world that you find yourself living in. On a deeper level this has the knock-on effect eventually, of helping you open your eyes more fully so you can catch more of a real glimpse internally of your ‘true’ Self, the ‘non-physical’ world, and who you REALLY are.

As by experiencing something new, different and challenging on all levels together with others, and by exploring an unfamiliar landscape, you are left transformed and inspired in ways that you couldn't imagine possible before. You now feel more open to live your dreams, follow your heart and ultimately to go on to discover your full potential in life.

ARE YOU WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR?

If you are 'open' to being inspired and are already sensitive to the important need to inspire others in your life, then Soul Projects could be just what you are looking for in your next big adventure abroad. Giving yourself a new, challenging and unique life changing experience, one that helps you make your difference to yourself and the world around you at the same time.

It doesn't matter if you are a totally new beginner to yoga, meditation, travel or expeditions, or whether you are already an experienced traveller and scuba diver who teaches yoga and meditation as a profession. We promise you that you will be challenged, led out of your comfort zone and will learn and grow from the experience in ways that you can't possibly imagine right now!

Soul Projects is for everyone and anyone! People of all nationalities, cultures, colours, creeds, walks of life, backgrounds, shapes and sizes; All with an infinite possibility of their own different types of interests, passions, ambitions, aspirations and dreams. In fact, the more different types of people that join the expedition the better it is for everyone. As one of the main focuses of the projects are to promote Self-realization and Self-discovery of the individual, through the human interaction with each other, and with their natural environments.

More experienced internal creative artists that join an expedition (e.g. more regular yoga and meditation practitioners), will also get the opportunity to teach one or two classes during their expedition if they so wish. To get the chance to share their knowledge and appreciation of this beautiful and very powerful healing human art form with the rest of the group that they will be living and working with.

OUR CURRENT PROJECTS

At the moment Soul Projects has its first spiritual volunteer expedition and adventure trek on Lake Atitlán in Guatemala. The expedition involves yoga and meditation in the forest and on the beach, teaching the creative arts to different groups of village children, living in a homestay with a local Guatemalan family, learning Spanish and the Mayan language, exploring, cleaning-up & reforesting Lake Atitlán with ‘Tul’ by scuba diving, and helping to liberate baby Green turtles on Guatemala’s southern shoreline. Giving you the chance to really leave YOUR mark and make YOUR difference.

All in all the project is halfway in-between being an active adventure expedition and a peaceful spiritual retreat, and would be suited to anybody looking for a ‘down to earth spirituality experience.’ It would also interest someone who wishes to 'get out into the wild,' to find deeply rewarding adventures abroad or volunteering opportunities, whilst travelling or on their gap year. With the perfect balance of being able to get involved with some community work and conservation work at the same time.
