Exploration of Spiritual and Energy Beliefs and Practices
Spiritual and energy principles and techniques are becoming more mainstream, and more people are eager to learn and explore these concepts in ways that they can integrate with their current belief systems and practices. This group will meet weekly for a series of five 90 minute sessions.
Sessions will reflect these themes:
- We are essentially spiritual beings having an earthly experience;
- We are energetic beings manifesting unconsciously and (increasingly) consciously in the physical form;
- We are here to transmute our soul’s karma, our bloodlines generational trauma, and our personality patterns into more love based transmissions;
And,
- We are powerful manifestors, able to create inner and outer peace and harmonious relationships with all beings sharing this precious planet.
Sessions will include leader facilitated exploration of these ideas with opportunities for individuals to share and reflect on their beliefs, experiences and hopes. Topics may include: vulnerability, the spiritual/souls journey, the four agreements, manifestation principles, the law of attraction, cultivating a relationship with your higher self and your I Am Presence or God-self, spiritual discernment, heart math & heart centered meditation, and evolving individual and collective consciousness.
Group activities will include meditations and basic practices of energy/spiritual principles. Light reading or the viewing of short videos will likely be encouraged between sessions.
Together, we will create a safe and inviting space to explore these beliefs with like-minded souls. As such, this is not a group for skeptics. If you are just beginning to explore these concepts and have healthy skepticism, please reach out to the group leader for possible inclusion in a future group with this theme.
Upon inquiry for this group, the facilitator may hold a brief conversation with prospective participants to be sure that this is a good fit.

Testimonials
“When I joined this group (Spiritual Awakening Exploration), I was excited, but I didn’t know what to expect. The first meeting was incredible, and each meeting after that was better than the one before it. At the last session, we unanimously agreed it was an invaluable experience. I was familiar with some of the practices and doing them in a group amplified everything, and allowed us to go deeper. Other practices were new to me and I have incorporated many of them into my own spiritual growth and meditation routine. This group was a safe, warm, validating community of amazing women filled with positive energy. We helped each other grow and we each grew in the process. Lisa brings a lifetime of knowledge and facilitated in a way where we got the benefit of her experience, with the ability to co-create our meetings as well. We all agreed the only downside was not enough time. I cannot recommend this group enough!”

“I had the profound privilege of taking a spiritual awakening class led by Lisa Catania and it has truly been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. The class was a beautiful journey of self-discovery, connection, and inner peace, leaving me with a renewed sense of clarity and even a greater appreciation for life.
Without revealing too much and taking away the magic of discovery, we explored a wide range of practices that helped us connect more deeply to ourselves, others, and the world around us. From learning various meditation techniques to participating in activities that harmonized the mind and heart, every session was enlightening and powerful. We shared unforgettable moments of connection and collective energy that opened my eyes to new perspectives and possibilities.
Lisa created an environment that was both nurturing and empowering, making it easy for everyone in our group to grow in their unique way. I cannot recommend this class enough to anyone seeking personal growth, spiritual connection, or just a deeper understanding of themselves and their journey. Thank you Lisa!✨”

“I highly recommend this group (Spiritual Awakening Exploration) for anyone looking to explore their spirituality and connect with a likeminded community. Lisa helped guide me to tap deeper into my own gifts while providing essential tools to enhance my spiritual journey. Her warm, compassionate energy creates a loving space where time seems to stand still to clear a path for spiritual growth. Every week is a new opportunity to discover your own magic through various practices, including smudging, meditation, breathing techniques, and reflection within a safe community. I’m so grateful for this amazing experience and strongly encourage others to take this journey!”
Love’s Wisdom Circle
Do you believe that love is the most powerful force in the world? That with every challenge, we can choose to grow through love and compassion for ourselves and others? That the purpose of life is to create more love and beauty? That as we approach our own shadows, judgments & limitations to reach for greater self compassion, understanding & soul wisdom, we gain greater love, understanding, acceptance & peace with others? And, that the change we seek starts from within?
”Love is a deep connection that operates on respect, affection, and kindness. It isn’t something that you can simply offer or receive, but it requires cultivation and growth over time. It occurs when you allow your most vulnerable self to be seen, developing a truthful relationship in the process.
You can only love someone else as much as you love yourself. If you don’t believe that you’re loveable, you will put up walls that will prevent others from developing sincere relationships with you. The root of self-loathing is shame, and, if you allow it to dictate your life, you won’t have the capacity to love or be loved.
Love removes the pressure of adhering to cultural and societal demands. It allows you to live your most authentic life with (others) who value you for who you are, not who they expect you to be, removing shame in the process. With shame out of the equation, scarcity culture can’t survive because it no longer has a method of controlling your behavior.”
-Hannah Aster on Brené Brown’s teachings on wholeheartedness
This circle is an opportunity for like-minded and wholehearted individuals to meet every other week to reflect and share insights, wisdom, and support from a space of authenticity, vulnerability, and openness.
As a psychotherapist and a spiritual coach, Lisa Catania, LCSW, will offer different themes each week for the group to explore together, such as: the importance of emotions, forgiveness, owning our shadows, intergenerational trauma healing, the wounded healer, the hero’s journey, divine feminine and divine masculine, the way of light workers and way-showers. Besides discussion, we will have group meditations and other activities that will enhance the gifts from our hearts and souls.
This ongoing circle will meet every other week and will have a duration of 6 to 12 months depending on participants’ ongoing interest and commitment. Payments are required for groupings of five sessions at a time.
”We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known, and when we honor the spiritual connection that grows from that offering with trust, respect, kindness and affection”. ~Brené Brown
“True belonging is the spiritual practice of believing in and belonging to yourself so deeply that you can share your most authentic self with the world and find sacredness in both being a part of something and standing alone in the wilderness. True belonging doesn’t require you to change who you are; it requires you to be who you are.” ~Brené Brown
Date: Every other Wednesday beginning June 18, 2025, ongoing depending on participation.
