Introducing the Soul Warrior Circle: Where Presence Is Enough
Feb 24, 2026It Takes Courage to Walk Into the Circle
Why Showing Up Is the First Act of Healing
Turning up to a group can feel genuinely terrifying.
For many people, the fear isn’t just about meeting new faces—it’s the deeper worry:
Will I have to share? Will I be exposed? Will I be expected to open up before I’m ready?
If you’ve ever felt that hesitation, you’re not alone.
In fact, that fear is one of the very things the Soul Warrior Circle exists to gently meet.
You Don’t Have to Speak to Belong
One of the most important things to know about the Circle is this:
You never have to speak if you don’t want to.
There is no pressure to share your story, explain your feelings, or relive your experiences. Participation can be as simple—and as powerful—as sitting, listening, and allowing yourself to be present.
Just showing up matters.
Your energy, your presence, your willingness to be there is already a form of participation.
Exploring Fear Without Being Overwhelmed
In the first Soul Warrior Circle, the theme explores what many traditions describe as the “love wolf” and the “fear wolf.” These two internal forces shape how we react, protect ourselves, and relate to the world.
Through guided discussion, visual diagrams, and gentle unpacking, the Circle explores:
-
How fear-based emotional patterns are formed
-
Why they continue to run beneath the surface
-
How awareness creates choice—and eventually freedom
This isn’t about reliving trauma.
It’s about understanding it, safely and compassionately.
The Circle is guided by James, who brings decades of experience in psychology, spirituality, and trauma-informed practice. His approach is grounded, regulated, and deeply respectful of each person’s pace.
A Space That Meets You Where You Are
Every Circle looks a little different. Some evenings may have three people. Others may have a dozen or more. What never changes is the intention:
-
A safe, held space
-
Freedom to listen, observe, or ask questions
-
Permission to share—or not share—without judgment
Often, people arrive anxious and leave surprised by how supported they feel. Once the nervous system settles, curiosity replaces fear. Questions arise naturally. Sharing, if it happens at all, happens because it feels right—not because it’s expected.
From Trauma to Soul Warrior
The Soul Warrior Circle is inspired by the teachings behind James’ book Trauma Survivor to Soul Warrior—a journey that honours both the depth of human pain and the resilience that exists beyond it.
This work is about learning, not fixing.
About remembering your capacity, not forcing transformation.

It takes courage to walk into a Circle.
To face the fear.
To sit with what’s been running underneath.
But you won’t be doing it alone.
Come brave.
Leave lighter.
If you’re on the Gold Coast and feel the quiet nudge to attend, this may be your moment to step in—not to perform, but simply to be.
