As we draw near to the end of this expansive year at VHD School, it's time to look back and reflect on the transformative journey we've embraced.
As we reflect on the themes and lessons of the past year at VHD School, we see a common thread of personal transformation, spiritual growth, and soul empowerment and expansion. From grounding ourselves, consciously shifting patterns, embodying our true and higher identity, flowing with divine flow, and restoring our energy, these key themes all play a vital role in our spiritual journey and divine alignment.
As we approach the year's end and enter a new beginning, let us carry the wisdom we’ve gained with us into the future; may it continue to nourish our souls as we embrace the ever-evolving transformative power within us.
This review will help to embrace the themes' interconnectedness and their profound impact on your personal growth and spiritual journey at VHD School. We'll revisit the key themes from January to December, reviewing the growth, learning, and expansion we've experienced individually and as a community.
“On the other side of complacency and giving up is higher potential, divine flow, higher purpose, and expansion; keep going, keep evolving.”
Let’s Begin

2023 Themes WE Explored

The Essentials of Equanimity
|Practice|
Equanimity is a way to develop ourselves and rest in inner peace. Without it, we can be easily affected by emotions, outside circumstances, and other people’s energy and react without thinking.

This VHD class introduces us to moving beyond the known into the unknown. Whether nudged to a new direction or seeking growth, this class offers steps for successful transitions.

The path to deepening your spiritual journey through inviting new levels of soul maturity. Learn how to open your heart, activate your higher knowing, and cultivate deep self-trust for inner guidance on the continual path of awakening. Soul maturity is essential to our soul's evolution. At times, the soul can remain stagnant in its current state and trapped in certain timelines and relationships. Our deeper sense of connection, belonging, insight, and purpose can also become jeopardized, fragmented, out of balance, and warped when we're unable to access our higher levels of ascension and being.
Maturation is a spiritual evolution. It changes the way we think, live, see, exist, and embody this life.

With deep passion and love, I'll guide you on how you too can wake up and expand from the old world and timeline into new higher ones. Old timelines do not have to trap you, block you, or hinder you from achieving your higher goals. They don’t have to win. Explore how to find liberation, rest, solace, freedom, renewed power, energy, purpose, peace, and direction.
