We are all researchers. It is human nature to seek knowledge and to assign meaning to our experiences.

It is vital that we start to include more female, spirit-and-indigenous-led knowledge in our academic and educational frameworks to gain a greater understanding of ourselves, and the world we are in.

Living Research is an embodied, sensorial and responsible approach to knowledge gathering.

It is a methodology, guide and compass to our work at Soul Seed Gathering where we engage with ancestral, Indigenous, and cultural knowledge as it engages with us also.

No knowledge remains dead to a page and separate from us but becomes a field we dance within.


Our Signature Living Research Program is an online, immersive self-led course and container, that will shift your relationship with knowledge, and transform your approach to research and self-inquiry.

We have been given an approach to research that focuses solely on cognition and intellectual development, while ignoring our other senses, embodied understanding, and relationships in an inter-connected world.

To live the research is to allow ourselves to become immersed in, and changed by, what we are learning – and to remain conscious and aware of that process as it’s happening. While we also build awareness and responsibility, as what we seek to understand will itself be changed by our observation and engagement with it.

This is for students, leaders, change-makers and creatives looking to engage with research, learning and ideas, with new and ancient innovative tools to do so.

Living the Story

The materials get to be lived within your daily routines and life at a self-study pace. The calls may explore a particular lens into research or a research theme itself co-created by the group.

It’s a profound journey, one that will fundamentally shift your relationship to knowledge and transform your approach to research on any subject within your life.

As with all of our offerings, this program is an organic, collaborative experience. We invite active participation and the awareness that we all play a key role in the cohort we become a part of. Rather than a passive receiving of information and knowledge, you are called to fully live, embody and apply all that you are learning.


You walk away with

  • A deep connection to your life, the greater world, and all it includes.

  • A sense of feeling special because you are part of something special - this world and universe and everything it holds.
