Soul Journey is intentionally designed for the differently-wired. From warm towels to weighted blankets, soft lights, and unhurried transitions, every detail supports your nervous system. Steve’s decades in adult education revealed that most people are neurodivergent in subtle ways—and their bodies feel the difference. Your preferences matter here, and your system relaxes from the moment you arrive.

Discover the deeper purpose of a hug and how a single shared breath can calm the nervous system, restore presence, and awaken connection. Learn Soul Journey’s intentional hug practice — one that balances giving and receiving through mindful touch.
