About SoulPlay.ca

Christa Hesselink founded SoulPlay.ca in early 2019 after over two decades of working in education, non-profit and ministry contexts.

SoulPlay offers creative experiences, curated resources, and personal support to help individuals, community groups, and organizations dig deeper, listen well, and journey towards loving themselves, others, the Sacred, and our world, well.

Through facilitated workshops & retreats, using the Enneagram, professional coaching & spiritual direction, pilgrimage experiences, and yoga, Christa has created SoulPlay to be nimble, dynamic, and responsive to the emerging needs unfolding around us.

Think of SoulPlay as an “outfitter for the inner life” - companioning people on the adventure and exploration of their inner life, and providing opportunities, tools & tips, and helpful guidance along the way.

What do you need to slow down? What do you need to wake up and love well?

These questions require a posture of curiosity and courage, and transformation is found in both the asking, and the unfolding answers that arise as one gives attention to their inner life.

Knowing how the power of inner transformation impacts people's desire and ability to live fully into their values of love, inclusivity, kindness, and generosity, SoulPlay experiences provide the safe, contemplative space, and community, to slow down and wake up to Spirit, Source, and Soul.

Christa has roots in the Christian tradition, and many of her clients have some religious background - whether they identify as committed or deconstructing, Protestant or Catholic, traditional or progressive, content or disillusioned alike.
