The Spiritual Journey

Pasadena Facilitators

Chantel Zimmerman’s company, Art and Soul Lab invites people to nurture their nature by tapping into their inner wisdom, changing their relationship with their spiritual practice, and building the resilience necessary to act on big dreams. With 20+ years of experience facilitating workshops, classes and retreats, Chantel has come to recognize how contemplative practices support individuals on their personal journey; she often uses the labyrinth as a mediative tool for transformation. Chantel practices deep listening with clients and groups, incorporates the use of transformative arts for self-discovery, and offers healing experiences that promote well-being. Participants gain insight through times of transition, grief, and positive life changes.
