Thank you for joining us here at Substack. We feel like “Freshers” starting a new term at a new campus.

We see this ‘new term’, as a leaving behind of things that no longer work or serve us, and finding new ways of flowing, with greater ease and opportunity for valuable and meaningful connection. We feel it’s a more heart-centred space here at Substack, and a natural choice to find more stable and fertile ground, in which together we can seed ideas, conversation and collaborations to grow as a nourishing community for the benefit of all.

What do we mean by that? Well, in short, less platforms for us to manage, less push, more invitation and more allowing. One place for you to come and find us as, when and how you like. With links to…

What we find and experience as Soulfulness. Places, people, content, locations that awaken, inspire and free the human spirit.

Here’s a reminder, the short-version, of what we/Soulhub is:

It’s a hub for the soul - A gathering, a movement, a place of authentic, and compassionate connection with like-hearted souls.

There’s enough platforms out there that want to just focus on the negative and the past or tell everyone how to live their lives. Instead, we desire to find and accent the positive, as well as imagining and taking action towards a better future. Celebrating each and everyones’s unique imperfectly perfect journey. Not to ignore the contrast, but to use it to better know what it is we DO want.

We are always open to challenge and difficult conversations that expand awareness, but we believe they should all be held with love, honesty and integrity.

As we mention in the video above, our Soulhubber’s Podcasts are already accessible here at Substack, and so please choose to listen to any of the 28 episodes. We do not have a strict schedule but record and share them organically, as and when it feels right.

We will be sharing a short survey next week, asking for your input as to what you currently appreciate and what you’d like to see, hear or know more of from Soulhub. Maybe it’s more from the Soulhub Practitioners themselves, more from us directly such as a weekly musings, or different perspectives of how life is for others, soulful conversations or soulful places to visit.

As this is our new term. And as we said we want to keep as much free as possible, We are kick-starting with a pledge. An opportunity for you to support us and what we do in a financial way. It will enable us to commit more to building this space for you and everyone else that needs it and perhaps those who cannot afford it.

As a Thank You (see below) and grateful exchange for those who sign up for a year, we’re offering 1 therapeutic session with either Andrew or I. You are welcome to donate the session to someone else, if you do not feel the need or desire.

For now we’ll leave you with some inspirational pieces. We sincerely thank you for your valuable time and open-hearted attention.

To read: Ben Fogle (adventurer/tv presenter) recently posted about his experiences (below) and we liked his sentiment very much.

To listen: This week Andrew spoke with Malcolm Stern, Psychotherapist and Author of ‘Slay your Dragons with Compassion’. Andrew has had the pleasure of participating in Malcolm’s year long group therapy sessions as well as co-facilitating with Malcom at Skyros Holidays. It’s a lovely little listen of where Andrew is currently at, and a little window into the world of dance.

Podcast on Spotify.

To pledge - As a Thank You for your financial support of £70 for a year, we’re offering a free online session (1 hr) with either Carmen or Andrew, which you can use for yourself, or gift to someone else/pay it forward, wherever you are in the world (Valid for 3 months from purchase).

Once you have subscribed for the year, we will be in contact, with our diaries (and a brief registration form), and you’ll be able to choose which one of us you’d like to have that time with, or if you’d indeed like a joint session. Here’s a very brief overview of what we offer below, and you can of course find out more on our websites - Carmen or Andrew

Therapeutic Sessions with Andrew Cuerden

If you are struggling to find your passion, purpose or flow in the dance of life. I would love to help you explore this. I believe in following our passions and leading with love and faith. To not live a logical life but a magical life. To dance joyfully between planning and presence, structure and flow.

I have spent my whole life doing this and it’s been an incredible life that has taken me all over the world and in and out of amazing adventures.

Therapeutic Session with Carmen

I love to get under the skin of understanding what’s the patterns/behaviours that create our very existence. I work with anyone looking to make a change, or who’s fed-up, exhausted or simply (not always seemingly so) wants a new life chapter. I’ve worked in private practice for 8 years now, with people from all walks of life, all ages, cultures, and experiences. All are welcome.

Please do let us know you’re here. Let’s start with…

What has our soul-newsletter inspired in you today?

Much love,

Carmen & Andrew
