SOUL DEVELOPMENT
Welcome to the Soul Development Portal ~ a curated selection of our teachings, practices, and courses related to the development or growth of the soul.
Because the psychospiritual path of The Clarion Way is holographic ~ each part reflecting the whole ~ ALL teachings, practices, courses, and other materials offered by the Institute can also be applied to your soul development.
TEACHINGS
- Born to Serve: The Evolution of the Soul Through Service
The first book of Susan Trout's Soul and Service Trilogy, Born to Service is an extraordinary handbook that explores the link between service and the soul, guiding us to deepen our awareness of the relationship between our motives for serving and the quality of our service.
- Infusing the World with Light through Prayer
Our world is destined to be infused with Light in its many forms–understanding, wisdom, beauty, truth, meaning, purpose, compassion, and love. We can do our part to usher in this new reality of a planet infused with Divine Light by using the sacred power of prayer.
The bee, a symbol for the
soul, acts as a messenger
between spirit and

- The Strong Must Be Made Stronger
We are wise to take an honest, nonjudgmen- tal look at what we think, feel, and do that weakens our inner strength, and what we think, feel, and do that strengthens it.
- Waking Up: The Transformative Power of Momentous Life Events (Part I)
Waking up after a kaboom can be followed by a major shift. Are we replaying a past, negative event? Do we have a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde within us? What within us needs to be awakened so we can choose a life of joy, unconditional acceptance, honesty, and integrity? - Waking Up: Healing from Kabooms by Aligning with Our Soul (Part II)
We can learn an essential spiritual practice that sustains the connection to our Soul whenever we experience a shattering kaboom.

MORE Courses to Support Your Soul Development
The Institute views its services as adjuncts to traditional medical and mental health care. As such, Institute courses are not intended to be psychotherapy, medical therapy, or a substitute for either one. Participants and volunteers are required to assume self-responsibility for their wellbeing by seeking, when appropriate, psychological, and medical professional services. As partners in the program in which they are enrolled, participants are asked to set intentions, do assignments, respect Institute communication guidelines, and in all ways participate with self-responsibility for their wellbeing.
