Brave Healer Productions announces the release of Love Initiation: Learning the Language of Soul, a collection of 24 stories written by Julianne Santini and John Mercede, co-founders of Profound Life Wellness, and a group of wellness practitioners and spiritual teachers who spent 13 days together in Egypt.
The group visited sacred sites along the Initiate’s Path in 2023 and contributed chapters on such topics as mastering one’s state of being for any life situation; learning to listen to your soul’s voice; what to do when everything falls apart; finding freedom through forgiveness and finding sacred embodiment in the kitchen.
Julianne and John say, “Within these pages, you’ll find individual stories of personal growth, spiritual awakening, and the resilience of our humanness in the face of difficult life situations. What if these initiations weren’t happening to us but for us? The voices of Love Initiation run the gamut, presenting introspective, funny, philosophical, and gritty reflections on life and spirituality. This book speaks to the need for an inclusive approach to life while highlighting that profound changes often occur while exploring uncharted territories.”
