Finding Your Soul Family: Reflections from the IANDS 2025 Conference

As I reminisce about the IANDS 2025 conference in Arizona, my heart overflows with gratitude. The experience was nothing short of transformative, and I am profoundly thankful for the connections I made—connections that felt like reuniting with a long-lost soul family. These interactions left an indelible mark on my heart, reminding me of the power of community and the beauty of finding our true tribe.

This realization sparked something deep within me—a wish for the world, a vision I want to speak into existence. My hope and prayer for each of you reading this is simple yet profound: May you find and connect with your soul family, your community. I truly believe that this journey is unique for each of us. It’s not about the organizations or affiliations we search for, but about discovering who we are and finding others on a similar path who resonate with our highs and lows.

In our soul family, we encounter people on different stages of a shared journey. Some may be just ahead, lighting the way with their wisdom and experiences, while others may be just behind, allowing us to serve as a beacon of hope and guidance. This reciprocal dance of support and inspiration is what makes these connections so invaluable.

Whether your community is made up of artists, singers, painters, or those who share any other passion, may you be blessed with a tribe that embraces you with open arms. A community that showers you with unconditional love, acceptance, and respect for the path you’ve walked. May you encounter those who, with a simple smile, uplift your soul and embrace it with warmth and understanding.

As we continue our individual journeys, let us remember the importance of these connections. May we all find the courage to seek out and nurture our soul families—those who truly see us, understand us, and walk beside us with unwavering love and support.
