Soul Sessions: Aligning Your Energy for 2026
Monday, January 12th | 7:45 - 9:15p

This 90-minute Soul Session is about slowing down enough to hear yourself clearly and reconnect with your intuition as you move into 2026. Rather than focusing on outcomes or forcing clarity, we work with the nervous system and subconscious so insight can arise naturally. When the system settles, decisions feel simpler. Timing becomes clearer. Trust returns.

The session includes grounding practices, sound, gentle subconscious and energetic clearing from 2025, a guided meditation, and time to integrate what comes up.

Led by Emma Ludlum, intuitive and hypnotherapist and founder of Vibrant Neurology.

This session is for anyone who:
• Wants to create a powerful year without hustle or burnout
• Feels intuitive but second-guesses themselves
• Is curious about energy and intuition, but wants it grounded
• Is navigating a transition and seeking clarity without overwhelm
• Wants to have a powerful and easeful 2026

No prior experience required.
