Our Mission Statement

Freedom Folk & Soul provides life-changing opportunities for individuals to embark on a journey of self-discovery and personal empowerment within a nurturing community. Through the wisdom of indigenous traditions, experiential learning, spiritual exploration, and expert guidance, we facilitate the transformative process of rewriting personal narratives, revitalizing spirituality, and fostering inner healing. Our mission is to empower individuals to embrace their inherent divinity, cultivate personal freedom, and develop leadership and facilitation skills that contribute to positive change in their lives and communities.

Our Vision

Freedom Folk and Soul’s vision is to embody its name as a spiritual organization.  We intend to guide people on their spiritual journeys of self-discovery and self-healing.

We are the support needed as individuals walk their path of transformation and begin to recognize their divinity.

In our name, “Freedom” stands for the deeply personal work of breaking free from all the wounding in our lives. From this wounding, we make many agreements and develop complex behaviors that help us understand and survive.

Personal freedom is about healing deep wounds and recognizing how they affect our everyday lives. Once we can see the programming we have developed, we can begin to change it and start creating the life we choose.

Freedom is about no longer being run by a belief system of limitation and unworthiness and recognizing that we are divine, spiritual, and powerful beings. It is about waking up and not being in constant reaction and a constant state of survival.

Our intention as an organization is to hold a safe, loving container for people and provide the opportunity for them to heal the wounds they carry, to wake up, and no longer believe the limiting, self-deprecating stories and beliefs about themselves and the world.

Freedom is about seeing the magic, wonder, and unlimited potential that we all have and saying yes to weaving a masterpiece of our lives.

The “Folk” in our name is about returning to the richness of culture, creativity, community, and art.  We have moved so far away from the richness and power of our authentic expression.  We intend to help people return to and experience the indigenous ceremonies and mythologies that help us awaken missing parts of ourselves.

To return to the elements and embrace the earth’s energies, as the ones that have come before us did for thousands of years, bringing us back into balance with life.

We want to invite people to remember their ancestry and the culture that makes life more fulfilling and purposeful. Support and encourage people to rediscover and embrace a path that speaks to their hearts.

For thousands of years, we have lived in community and have become a do-it-yourself culture. Many of us come from broken families or have felt alone our whole lives. We intend to be a tribe and a healthy family so that people remember they are not alone and that they are supported as they walk this path of life. The nurturing and safe container that the community provides allows us to spread our wings and become the powerful presence we were born to be.

It reminds us that if we fall, we will be caught, and we will become more willing to take those risks that ultimately help us to grow as individuals and as a collective tribe.  “Folk” also includes the magic of creativity and art.  We have suppressed our creativity in so many ways that most of us are so full of judgment, making it impossible to express our art and joy in the world. Our goal is to help people discover their unique expression,  whether it is painting, music, building, teaching, cooking, etc.

We are inherently creative beings. Our life force is creative energy; when we don’t express it, it becomes toxic in the body, mind, and spirit. We intend to help people move through the blocks that stop them from expressing themselves and being the creative, powerful beings they are.  We believe everyone has an art to express in the world, and when they do not, it is a significant loss to humanity.

The “Soul” in our name runs through it all. We are spiritual beings having a human experience. We believe we are divine, creative beings connected to the source in which all things came to and will return.   We believe we are eternal, and we choose to come to the planet to have a human experience.

The human experience is all of it: the good, the bad, the light and the dark, the joy, the pain, the triumph, and the tragedy.

Our biggest intent as an organization is to help people remember that there is no separation and that we are divine beings having this experience called life. We hope to help people see that their pain, wounding, heartbreaks, joy, love, etc, can become their greatest gift and medicine to share with the world.  We will hold the space so that people can discover what their soul’s purpose is and encourage them to express it in their own unique way.  The “soul” part is about remembering who we really are, our deepest connection to self, and the most beautiful expression of our divine presence in this life.

Freedom Folk and Soul is not here to change the world; it is here to change our world.

By taking personal responsibility for our lives and healing ourselves, we will naturally become more conscious, kinder beings who recognize that each and every person, regardless of who they are, is a reflection and part of us.

We will more fully understand that “WE ARE ONE” and that we are connected to all of life. We will treat the world better because we will see that it sustains, supports, nourishes, and nurtures us. If we can learn to love ourselves, be present with life, and remember our divinity, we will see that there is no separation and then ultimately begin to change the world.
