Here’s an example of a Soma Faith Class. Each class has a clear theme that connects to the archetype feature of the month. For example, this class explores two central ideas around “We are One”: How, while each of us is uniquely individual, we are also fundamentally the same; and how every person we meet can be both a mystery to discover and a mirror reflecting parts of ourselves.
This theme ties into the explorer archetype: on our journey we are continually navigating
the familiar and the novel,
the known and the unknown,
the ease and the effort,
and we cultivate both the courage to wander and the wisdom to stay grounded on the path.
Helen opens the class with a guiding concept, a blessing, and often a short prayer. We then move through each song paired with gentle rhythmic choreography that supports the theme and invites embodied reflection.
Each Soma Faith experience is structured as a thoughtful journey: we warm up the body and heart, build the experience and expression, and finally ground and integrate everything in a closing meditation, prayer, and blessing.
Here’s the notes for this class:
Explorer archetype with “We Are One" Unique Yet the Same. Hero's Journey 2026-04-16
Opening prayer, closing prayer, and blessing shaped around the Explorer archetype and the theme “We Are One — Unique Yet the Same.” The tone blends curiosity, reverence, and unity without losing individuality.
Opening Prayer (Explorer Tone)
Spirit of Life,
Guide of every path and every seeker,
As we gather here, each carrying different stories,
different questions, different ways of seeing
we step into this shared space as explorers.
Give us courage to wander inward,
to notice what is familiar in one another,
and what is beautifully unknown.
Remind us that though our paths look different,
we are walking the same sacred ground.
Searching, learning, becoming.
Open our hearts to connection,
our minds to discovery,
and our spirits to the quiet truth:
We are not separate travelers—
we are one journey, unfolding in many forms.
Amen.
Closing Prayer
Spirit who meets us on every road,
Thank you for what we have discovered today—
in ourselves, and in each other.
Where we saw difference,
plant deeper understanding.
Where we felt connection,
help it take root and grow.
As we leave this space,
send us out as gentle explorers—
curious instead of certain,
open instead of guarded.
Remind us that every person we meet
is both a mystery and a mirror.
And in that reflection,
may we remember:
We are one
unique in expression,
yet united in essence.
Amen.
Opening/Closing Blessing
May your path be wide enough for wonder,
and steady enough for truth.
May you honor what makes you different,
and recognize what makes you the same.
May you walk through the world
as both seeker and belonging
discovering, again and again,
that wherever you go,
you are part of the One.
