"We shouldn't stand in the shadow of our ancestors,
we should stand on their shoulders."
-- Genpo Roshi

"Soulwork" is best understood as a 21st century compliment to traditional spirituality. It turbo-charges any sincere and authentic spiritual journey. A “soulworker” breaks through to new levels of awakening including a greater understanding of what it means to be fully human and spiritually awake at the same time.

By focusing on your soul, the underpinning of human existence, extra-ordinary progress can be made toward true freedom, lasting happiness, and peace for everyone. This is accomplished by building on how far we have already awakened both individually and collectively. “Soulwork”, which is the name given to Bob Mackura’s seasoned approach to accelerating spiritual growth, combines these qualities with the latest holistic and integrative approaches to evolve human consciousness even further.

By learning to focus on what insights your soul is presenting to you moment by moment (“in the now”), the path toward wholeness and its connection with The Source can be accelerated. The key is following the natural, non-linear direction only your individual soul can show you. How you go about discovering this key is the substance of soulwork. Combining this work with other forms of authentic spiritual development (meditation, prayer, ritual, intentionality, community building, body awareness, music, striving to be good, etc.) can make for a very powerful approach. Spiritual paths (Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Yogic, Indigenous, Judaic, Hindu, etc.) can also be helpful when understood from a higher perspective.

Soulwork asks that you embrace what it means to be an awakening soul in human form. This means you choose to be open and willing to work on your mental capacities and limitations, embrace your full physical-sexual potential, challenge your spiritual beliefs to open new doorways, resolve emotional and psychological conflicts, explore the many dimensions of love, and anything else your soul chooses to bring into your awareness. As you might imagine, this is deeply intimate and rewarding work.

This work builds on the knowledge that each individual and social group evolves through increasingly higher and richer stages or waves of awakening. With this as a foundation we can appreciate our experience of higher states of consciousness, while learning to recognize we (you) are also born with the potential to evolve these states to even higher stages of awakening. To successfully awaken, it is essential your path also include a consistent and honest effort to resolve the insidious nature of your false self or ego (Bob uses the term "pseudo-soul"). To a significant degree the amount of growth you experience is determined by your willingness to progress through the veils that hide your true potential. Every spiritual tradition recognizes this in varying ways.

Bob has recently opened “Soulworkers Centre” in Grass Valley, California. You can go to our calendar to find out more about his weekly groups and workshops. He also works with individuals seeking more focused guidance. Before coming to California, he spent ten years as the resident spiritual director of a non-denominational spiritual sanctuary and retreat on the Big Island of Hawaii. Over the years Bob has worked with ministers and monks, to the newly inspired; with souls in spiritual crisis, to those seeking accelerated awakening. Bob says “what allows me to work so deeply and effectively with people of many spiritual paths, lifestyles, and cultures, is being able to connect with them at their soul level zeroing in on where they need the most guidance.” Bob has dedicated his life to refining this approach for over fifteen years, drawing on the essential elements of the world’s great masters and his own direct experience.

Your soul has brought you this far. It is no accident you are reading these words. More awakened souls are needed, perhaps now more than ever. Are you ready to turn the first key? Are you ready to become a soulworker?
