Hi Laura,
I am wondering if you will be offering any type of scholarship or sponsorship for those who cant afford the class? I have had a rough 2011. In January I was to enter my final term of massage therapy training, had an accident in which I have a back injury and massage therapy is tentative at best. I dream of my livelihood encompasing healing and then your email comes over with your new certification program. I understand this is new, and it may not be the right time, but if you would consider keeping me in your thoughts as I believe in your dreams and see Soul Art as a wonderful healing art. All the best to you.

Dear LAura:
Greetings from the enchanted island, and blessings to you and your work. I have been so inspired by your powerful soul art tv, and am on fire to continue with this opportunity. As an expressive artist, teacher and spiritual guide, I am just reawakening to my life journey and mission, thanks to you and the other members of the family soul art tribe. It has made a difference in my life connecting with each one of you/me’s.
Now, my question is the following: for someone living in another time/space, where the economic abundance truth has yet not set fully in, would you consider other payment options?
your “tribe cousin” in the boondogs,

Hi Laura,
I’m very drawn to and curious about the certification. I have a show that I’m preparing, painting for that is the weekend of May 7th and 8th. My questions are how much time daily does the course require and when will you be offering it again? And maybe having the certification under way would be something I might want to advertise with and during my show?
The Master level – would I be able to stay with you the two days of intense training or is room and board another cost besides the travel? Is this something that may be optional after the training has started?
I am looking forward to hearing from you,
Teresa Beyer

Hi Laura,
How exciting for you and those ready to get certified
My question is I am pretty new to your work and it all seems so amazing. While I have been awakened to my Spiritual Journey for some time and am a healer/teacher already – I experience lack of clarity at times now that I am feeling the inspiration to be, do and have more. As I look at your Shaman’s Palette program and your 21 day clease program and now your Soul art certification program I am wondering if the Soul Art Cert program covers simialr material that would create the same benefits of the other programs? While I know I am infinitely abundant in truth it is not my current physical reality…
I find myself asking Do I invest in one of the other programs first or do I dive right in and invest in your Cert Program? Also I may have missed it but did you state what the yearly re-cert fee would be? Though I am in the process of accepting where I am in life as far as financial abundance goes I find myself with more outflow than inflow so this will be a big decision for myself and my family
Thank you and much love and gratitude!
March 7th, 2011 at 8:43 am
Hi Laura
I can’t find anywhere that says how much it costs to become certified?
Thanks (and congratulations on all your work coming together so beautifully and in a way that can help others – I find it truly inspiring.)

Excellent question Jill!
The difference with the Certification program from the other journeys you mentioned (Creativity Cleanse and the Shaman’s Palette) is that you will be able to create an income from what you learn and experience.
The Soul Art Certification Program focuses on your creative spiritual journey during the first part of the program and then focuses on guiding someone else on their journey.
If you are at the stage where you want to take your own journey as well as generate income, the Certification program is the great place to focus your energy.
March 7th, 2011 at 11:24 am
Hi Teresa,
An exhibition is a brilliant way to introduce your Soul Art services to a wider audience. The timing is perfect!
That is exactly how I started getting clients in the beginning, I would show my art and then people would ask questions about how I created my work and I would tell them that I could guide them to create their own Soul Art!
With regards to the time involved in this program, you will have an assignment a week.
Some of the assignments will include creating your own Soul Art, which could support you in creating the work for your exhibition.
Each assignment could take anywhere from 30minutes to hours (depending on how creative you want to get with it).
With regards to the Master Level training, there is a nearby hotel that International guests stay in when they travel for Intensives. Nourishing gourmet lunches and dinners are provided while working in the studio. Your travel and accommodation are your own.

Hi Laura
I am so interested in doing this, it comes at just the right time in my journey. My question is about the certification levels. You’ve mentioned that Body Mapping is certification level 1, is there a certification level 2 (and so on) or is the next level the Masters Leval Certification?
Leanne
March 7th, 2011 at 6:08 pm
Hi Leanne,
Great question!
Bodymapping is Level 1, within Level 1 there is Standard and Master.
Level 2 and Level 3 will be launched later this year.
with creative sparks,
Laura

Hello Laura,
I’m very interested in this certification program. However, I’m wondering what the yearly recertification fee would be every year? That answer would be the main deciding factor.
Best,
Jaime
March 10th, 2011 at 11:50 am
Hello Jaime,
Thank you for asking about this, as this was not posted on the page.
We have not posted this because we are still working out the exact details for the yearly refresher.
What I can say at this point is it will be affordable and acessable.
The main purpose of the yearly refresher is to stay connected and make sure all the certified guides are still on track.

Laura
March 22nd, 2011 at 3:23 pm
I’m wondering if you will be offering this certification program other times of the year? I cannot afford this right away unfortunately.
March 22nd, 2011 at 9:53 pm
Hi Megan,
Thanks for your message.
Yes I do intend on offering the Soul Art Certification program again. There are no dates set at this point, but you will be kept in the loop about that.
with joy
Laura
July 3rd, 2011 at 5:06 am
Hi Laura,
Thanks for doing this work. The program is very exciting and a wonderful opportunity. However, I am not able to take the certification training now. Would you also keep me posted on when the program will be offered again?
Thanks and Blessings, Cher
July 3rd, 2011 at 3:27 pm
What are the benefits off getting your Master Certification versus the Standard?
I will be out of town and unavailable that week.
Will you be offering this Certification program again soon?
Thanks for sharing your enlightenment ~
Ericka
July 3rd, 2011 at 3:37 pm
Hi Ericka,
The Master Level Certification includes a 2 day Soul Art Intensive with me in the studio. This is a one-on-one experience to dive deep into your Soul Art Journey.

Laura
July 3rd, 2011 at 3:38 pm
Hi Cher,
This is the last time we are offering the Soul Art Certification program in 2011. We will offer it again in the future but the dates are not scheduled yet.
July 8th, 2011 at 5:00 pm
I’d love to do this, but it might take some work to talk my husband into it. When is the
Registration deadline, and when are payments due? (also if you have any tips for getting a spouse on board, one who isn’t inton”woo woo” stuff, that would be awesome!)
July 10th, 2011 at 9:14 pm
Hi McKella,
The Soul Art Certificaton program begins on July 22nd.
Once the group is full registration will close.
Without knowing the nature of your relationship with your husband the best thing to do in any relationship is find your own source of power and share your dreams from the solid foundation of your own power.
July 11th, 2011 at 6:39 pm
Hi Laura!
I am very interested in your certification program. I just started the creativity cleanse and find it wonderful! Thank you so much for your energy.
My question about the program is how the assignments are tracked. Are we working independently or is there an online forum where we post our projects? I guess i wonder how we are held liable for our work and how we keep in touch with you.
I’m an art teacher and know that this work would compliment my teaching greatly, especially with the adult population that I hope to teach soon.
Many thanks,
Stephanie
July 11th, 2011 at 7:14 pm
Hi Stephanie,
Great question!
The Soul Art Certification has 10 video modules, with assignments and 2 one-on-one phone calls.
In order to become fully certified as a Soul Art Guide you must complete and send all assignments to me. I review all of them personally and send you comments on each one.
If you do the Master Level Certification you would also have a 2 day Soul Art Intensive in my studio.
I look forward to connecting with you and learning more about your creative spirit!
July 20th, 2011 at 11:59 am
Hi Laura,
The Soul Art Certification sounds very exciting! I live in Johannesburg and was wondering if any allowance is made for international students? I am looking for a way into becoming an expressive art facilitator. I am a mosaic artist and use meditation and visualisation in my Creative Exploration workshops but feel that a ‘formal qualification’ would give me more credibility and therefor accelerate my process as well. I have done much emotional work of which quite a lot was accompanied by art therapy (formally and self-guided). Pls add me to your mailing list for future certification courses.
Thank you,
Ira Bekker
July 20th, 2011 at 1:54 pm
Hi Ira,
Yes, we love International students!
Currently we have Soul Art students in South Africa, Canada, USA, Australia, UK, France, Switzerland, Germany, and South America. We would love to include you.
The best thing for us to do is set up a complimentary call together and you can fill me in on the details of your journey and we can see if Soul Art is the next best step for you.
I’ll email you personally to schedule this.
Looking forward to getting to know you and your creative spirit,
Laura
August 3rd, 2011 at 9:28 am
Hi Laura,
The 10 video modules that are part of the certification program…can they be downloaded and viewed (and reviewed) at a later date , or does the program cost only include one viewing only?
Also, How often are you running sessions?
Your art work and website are truly an inspiration!
Thank you for expressing your creative soul,
Gina
August 3rd, 2011 at 9:37 am
Hi Gina,
The Certification program includes the 10 video modules, worksheets, and 2 one-on-one phone calls. You have access to the full program for as long as you are certified.
Once you become certified you may wish to go deeper into one aspect of the process, the modules are available for you to do so as often as you want.
The next Soul Art Certification program will happen in 2012.
October 16th, 2011 at 1:22 pm
Hi Laura, I don’t believe in considences and here I am at your website! I do have a couple of questions though. Were are you located. I understand that the course can be done online, but what about the one on one?
Also, how do you validate your credentials to be able to certify a person in soul art?! are there any accredited professions that will accept the soul art certification as continuing credits?
October 16th, 2011 at 2:42 pm
Hi Ruth,
Lovely to connect with you.
Soul Art studio is located in Hamilton, Ontario Canada.
There are 2 different levels to the Soul Art Certification program:
Standard level: includes on-line training, digital videos, pdf worksheets, as well as 2 one-on-one calls with me.
Master level: includes all the above as well as in-studio training.
Soul Art is a process I developed over my 10+ year journey as an artist and shaman.
My own credentials include:
Honors Fine Art Degree
Certified in Neuro-Linguisitic-Programming
Certified Time-Line Therapist
Certified Hypnotherapist
Certified DNA Reprogrammer
My full story can be read on my bio.
Soul Art is a registered trademark, which entitles certified Soul Art Guides to use the trademark and all the processes associated with it.
We are looking into the accreditation process.
If you have any further questions Ruth, let us know.

I have been watching this program for a long time now. I didn’t have 2 nickles to rub together let alone invest in this. I was so bad off I couldn’t even approach scholarship questions. I really want to do this for myself & as a way to expand my service to healing in the world. I am 4 years after a auto accident & trying to avoid surgeries. My life is dealling with chronic pain. I recognize the blessings of going within an started that process more than 20 years ago. I am always amazed the journey never stops. Unfoldment is eternal. I am currious about the certification processes. If I begin and then want to become a Master does my initinal tuitions deduct from the Master program. Also I am concerned about your recertification & the costs involved for Master level? Also, can I be an effective Soul artist coach without a studio of my own…lol something tells me of course I can!
I love the creativity you are expressing through your videos and website, Laura. I always lok forward to your next expression of you. thank you for sharing yourself with the world.
Blessings Abundant,
Karen

Hi Karen,
The journey of a Soul Artist is one of finding a path when it may not exist yet.
Not having a studio is not a limitation to being a Soul Artist.
When I first started leading Soul Art workshops I gathered 3 friends in my living room.
If the desire is there, there is always a way.
I look forward to learning more about you and your creative spirit.
with joy
Laura
February 5th, 2012 at 7:16 am
Hi Laura! Everything you offer throughout your website is so inspirational! Thank you! My question: does the Soul Intensive count towards the Master level training if it is done before the Certification process? Is there an order in which you recommend doing them if I wanted to do both? Meghan
March 3rd, 2012 at 4:06 pm
Hi Meghan, thanks for your question. To qualify for the Master level, you must complete an intensive. Whether you do it before or after the rest of the certification program depends on your own journey. However, the level of depth you will reach in an intensive is what qualifies you to become a Master.
March 18th, 2012 at 10:29 am
Hi Laura,
I am curious about the process through which a certified Soul Art guide would take a private client. Do you lay that out? In other words, is there a specific system or program that we would provide as a standard “soul art experience”? And if so, is it a single-session process, or multi-session? Just curious how the business end would work.
Thanks, and I love your spirit!
March 22nd, 2012 at 8:30 am
Hi Stephanie, Yes, you will learn the exact steps to take a client through in a Soul Art journey. You will also learn how to add your own unique creative flair to each process.
One of my favorite things about this program is the Money Ritual. We include a process that ensures each Soul Art Guide knows how to make money by leading Soul Art workshops, programs and private sessions.
March 22nd, 2012 at 8:37 am
Hi Sandy Meegan, Congratulations for staying committed to your dream! Thanks for planting the seed about a scholarship program. I will keep that in mind. As of right now we are not offering a scholarship program.
March 29th, 2012 at 10:25 am
Hi Laura, This program really appeals to me. My question for you is this: What if Part One is the strongest appeal to you and you are not sure if you want to continue with Part Two? Right now I’m desiring personal transformation; which has me wondering what my nexts steps will be after the transformation happens. Do you recommend the certification program, or is there a different program you have that would be better? Just curious. Thanks!!
March 31st, 2012 at 7:51 am
Hi Nicole,
This is a great question!
It is true that some people who go through the program realize that what they were really seeking was their own transformation and they discover they are not interested in leading others.
That is okay. I see that as clarity.
The Soul Art Certification program offers the most in-depth Soul Art Journey (outside of Private Intensives), so if you are seeking your own transformational journey but are not sure if you want to guide others this is still option. The advantage to doing a Soul Art journey in this way is that you will learn how to guide yourself through the process again and again. You can become your own client for a lifetime of healing!
with joy
Laura
