Your Soul Wants Five Things
“Once the soul awakens, the search begins…
you are inflamed with a special longing that will never again let you linger
in the lowlands of complacency and partial fulfillment.
The eternal makes you urgent.”
~ John O’Donohue Anam Cara ~
Welcome to Your Soul Wants Five Things. Perhaps you are already familiar with some of my books and courses. Each was born out of a crying need from my own soul to meet five urgent needs:
- A relentless call to connect with Source gave birth to Writing Down Your Soul
- The cry to live a life of true authenticity gave birth to my personal covenant with God and Soul Vows
- The longing to know and live my soul’s divinely-appointed mission became Find Your Soul’s Purpose
- The urge rising in me to share my creative gifts gave birth first to Plug In for Writers and later Express Your Soul’s Beauty
- The desire to create a truly beautiful and abundant life based on something richer and more important than my surface needs created the space for the wisdom of Buddha and Jesus to give birth to The Lotus and The Lily
Your Soul Wants Five Things includes all five of these rich courses plus much, much more. This is a year-long intimate journey with me and a small group of fellow deep soul explorers.
There is no comparable program, so I invite you to take your time on this page. At some point your soul will let you know if this is the adventure your soul is waiting for.
One of our 2016 members sums up her experience in the Sacred Circle below:
“The soul’s joy is in unfolding, in becoming known to the self and being able to live
from a deeper and deeper connection with who we really are.”
~ Oriah Mountain Dreamer, The Dance ~
I began teaching Writing Down Your Soul in 2009. That summer I added Plug In for Writers to share what I had learned about succeeding in the wild world of publishing. The following spring, I added The Lotus and The Lily to share the cosmic power of the Intention Mandala that carried me from bankrupt to bank-full. Then, on November 11, 2010, the tenth anniversary of my soul vows, I asked how I could say thank you for this transformational prayer practice. The answer was clear, “Teach it.” By January 2011, I had developed four unusual deep soul explorations. I foresaw myself teaching these four courses for years to come.
But on New Year’s Day 2011, I named my Intention Mandala “My Big Pot Year” and laughingly said out loud, “I guess this means You are the chef and I am the ragu; make of me what you will!” I thought I was being cute. God, however, thought I was surrendering—and took me up on the offer!
Three weeks later, I was awakened with “Your soul wants five things” in my left ear. Five? Please! I’d worked flat out developing four deep courses. I didn’t have the energy to create another. I went to my office and worked on a quartered circle image of four things the soul wants.
The next morning, I was awakened by a louder voice, “SERVE A PURPOSE!” I sighed. I knew full well what I was being told, but I was too weary to agree. The voice softened and said, “Look at your hand.” I opened my eyes and looked at my left hand. Oh! There it was right in front of me and it’s right in front of you. Your soul wants five things:
To CONNECT with Source
To COMMIT to Values
To SERVE a Purpose
to EXPRESS its Full Beauty
To CREATE Abundant Life
I stopped arguing after that, and I created the first Your Soul Wants Five Things year-long program. Nine brave women signed up. We went through the courses together and met monthly in our private Sacred Circles listening intently to one another’s souls. Together, we discovered what this program really is. It is more than the five courses. It is more than the private Sacred Circles. It’s more than the wealth of bonuses.
But the best was yet to come. On Friday, June 13, 2014 I gave myself an astrology reading with George Ward as a gift for my 66th birthday. That reading set the stage for a stunning expansion of Your Soul Wants Five Things. It began with my Lotus & Lily “Prayer of a Strong Container” and continued throughout December as each element in the deep mystical meaning of Your Soul Wants Five Things appeared. The story is rich and rather astonishing, so I made four videos to share the highlights of what I learned during my 40 days in the desert being fed by Sophia-Holy Wisdom. You can watch the four videos in order in the sidebar at the top of this page.
“Each of us is called to be a mystic. To be a human being means
that we are invited into the possibility of transcendental life and experience.
We are not here simply to pursue a profane existence spent plotting our human happiness….
We are meant for greater things.”
~ Wayne Teasdale The Mystic Heart ~

Discover the ‘You’ that Knows She Can Fly
When I first registered for Writing Down Your Soul in January of 2014, I could not have imagined that I would take all of Your Soul Wants Five Things courses much less register to make the complete cycle again in 2015! But I did, and my life is so much richer for it. I realized I had found a spiritual home and I longed to continue my soul journey with the beautiful Sacred Circle of Sophia. This small intimate group invites me to not only ask the big questions but also to be seen, heard and supported with love and compassion. If you are wondering about making the commitment, I urge you to do it! These simple, yet profoundly mystical Five Things will transform your life. Leap! Take the leap! You will discover the "you" that has always known she can fly.Kathleen Jenkins, Austin, TX (2015)
I Have Found Clarity and Grounding
Navigating the shifts and turns that we are undergoing energetically on our planet can be bewildering. But with Janet as our Beloved Field Guide, I have found clarity, grounding even while marching through the mire of left over childhood memories and past perceived failures. Janet is not just teaching from a theoretical perspective but from a view point honed from years of daily Deep Soul Writing practice. We're learning the real way to set conditions that make the practical now feasible ... and I am grateful.Linda Witt-King, California, USA (2015)
I Feel Held in Heart, Mind, and Spirit
I had no idea what I was initially signing on for other than I simply loved Janet's books, which were transformative for me. After a year in Your Soul Wants Five Things, I feel I'm part of spiritual tribe, an amazing group of women who were also called to be in this Sacred Circle. I feel held in heart, mind and spirit, and comforted by the warmth of wise words of mystics and fleets of angels. Thank you Janet and the Sacred Circle of Sophia.
Tara McKee Cousineau, Boston, Massachusetts (2015)

Janet’s Deep Soul Writing process has been the cornerstone of my exploration
I have been a seeker all my life. With an intuitive nudge, I joined Your Soul Wants Five Things. Janet's Deep Soul Writing process has been the cornerstone of my exploration in each of her courses. My excitement and commitment to this process grows. I have just signed on for another year! It is impossible to describe the levels of understanding and compassion I have experienced toward myself and others. This is a gradual unfolding of your highest self in a supportive environment .

Janet holds such a beautiful safe space that I feel understood and at home
Choosing to commit to the year-long program was truly the best gift I could ever give myself - each class builds upon another - allowing me to gain a deeper clearer perspective of who I am at soul level, my soul's gifts, and what I am here to share with the world. The Sacred Circles are so supportive and intimate. Janet holds such a beautiful safe space that I feel understood and at home. It is a divine spiritual community.I am continuing a second year as it has had such positive affects on me & my life!- Emma Kupu Mitchell, Oahu, Hawaii
I feel Divinely guided in every particle of my being
Did Janet Conner change my life? She would say I changed my life by changing the way I see myself and my life. But her knowledge, warmth, and teaching style all made it very simple for me to move forward into a Divine experience. I was a happy person a year ago; now I feel Divinely guided in every particle of my being. My life is still the same—same job, same lover—but "I" am totally transformed. Your Soul Wants Five Things is a Divinely guided "system" that you play with for a year, then the toys last you a lifetime.- Marielle Losier, New Brunswick, Canada
The soul really does want ALL 5 things!
The soul really does want ALL 5 things! Classes with Janet are a joy; both otherworldly and refreshingly human, a beautiful and difficult to achieve combination. I have gained so much in this last year, including many new friends (the community is amazing!), and I anticipate a rocking year with my soul’s purpose finally clear. Not only that, I feel that there is still so much more to learn that this year I am signing up for Your Soul Wants 5 Things the second time!- Andrea Crisp, Portland, Or
I don’t have the words to describe what has happened to me
This year has been wonderous. I don't have the words to describe what has happened to me. I don't have the words--and I'm a writer! Life is so fabulous, so wonderful, so marvelous. I feel like I'm not walking on this earth anymore- Irene Kessler, Boca Raton, FL
This has been an awakening to a place I never imagined possible
So many things happened this year, but the greatest and grandest is the level of intimacy I have gained with The Divine One. When I look back at my spiritual journey, I've always wanted to learn about God, but I never had this intimacy before. It's so incredible. This has been an awakening to a place I never imagined possible.- Masha Ellman, El Paso, Tx
Warning! The future will seem brighter than your current reality!
Maybe you need to add a tag line to your classes: Warning! The future will seem brighter than your current reality! I have a great new job. My relationship with my mother has healed. My painting has taken a leap. I owe this miracle to you and your opening of space to allow me to flourish as my own God Self. Thank you for having such a loving heart to allow me to grow into my true self!- Wendy Kennedy, Raleigh, NC

She creates a rare space for sharing and growing, and is an inspiring model of how to thrive in the world while living a soul-connected, fun, and creative life.- Beth Spencer, New South Wales, Australia
My soul finally has the five things it needs to be whole and productive
I love Your Soul Wants Five Things. While all of these classes can be taken separately, taking them together, one has a feeling of structure and completion. For years I have struggled with finding my true life's purpose. The logical order of these classes, building on each other, has finally allowed me to know who I am and what I am here to do. It is a very spiritual and satisfying feeling. My soul finally has the five things it needs to be whole and productive- Suzi Fischer, St Petersburg FL
Your Soul Wants Five Things has a sacredness and an alignment to Truth that is real
Your Soul Wants Five Things has a sacredness and an alignment to Truth that is real. Janet has created a Mystery School. It is an organic, living thing that will change and grow, but Mystery School it is. This school helps us connect back to our Soul and heal our lives. It’s comprehensive. It requires our Soul’s active participation and with it, we find the full expression of ourselves that will make us really happy, content and peaceful inside.- Kristin Camille Cash, Cary NC
“A teacher cannot give you the truth. The truth is already in you.
You only need to open yourself—body, mind, and heart—so that his or her teachings
will penetrate your own seeds of understanding and enlightenment.
If you let the words enter you, the soil and the seeds will do the rest of the work.”
~ Thich Nhat Hanh, The Heart of the Buddha’s Teachings ~
As you read the five things the soul wants and the five things the soul already knows, you will instinctively sense if these five things are true for you—and how hungry your soul is to explore them more deeply.
Janet also distilled the essential wisdom of Your Soul Wants Five Things into these Core Truths. Read them and notice how your heart responds.
You can also take these deep questions to take into soul writing or meditation. Ask these and others will surface. In a short period of time, you will know—and know that you know—if Your Soul Wants Five Things is the path for you.
