Soul Buddy Program
Your Spiritual Matchmakers for Friends and Collaborators
This is our way of embodying unlearning and reclaiming Valentine’s Day as a celebration of all types of love - not just romantic. We wanted to highlight some of the most potent relationships we have had in this lifetime - friendships and platonic love.
The Soul Buddy Program will be a five-week journey as a way for you and (us) to make a new friend and form a more intimate connection.
Be the reason someone feels seen, heard, valued, loved, and supported.
Platonic love relationships have taught us how to hold compassionate space for one another, how to truly see and hear one another, and how to both give and receive love. Our friends have been there for us during our worst, been there to celebrate our wins, and everything in between.
But as we get older, it can be difficult to make new friends. We call in relationships and people that are in service to our highest good, those that want to be there for us, and have the capacity to do so.
That’s why we felt called to open up the Soul Buddy Program, this time, as a stand-alone five-week program.
You will both go on an intentional relationship-building journey where you will learn how to hold compassionate space, see and hear one another, celebrate each other’s wins, and understand what it means to build a deeper, more meaningful connection.
Relationship building takes time, practice, and precious care and attention. That’s why this will be a five-week guided and self-led journey.
Our most sincere hope is that you will each walk away with a lifelong friend.

“I made a lifelong friend. I don't know how you connected us but she is exactly who I needed to come into my life. Soul sister for sure! We hit it off right away!”

“Yes, I loved it! My soul buddy and I talked for an hour and a half before the summit. We connected and really held space with one another. It was such a lovely experience! We would message throughout the summit and plan to continue our friendship. Jenny lives in Chicago, where I used to live and still go to frequently so hopefully once it's safe we will even meet in person! The Soul Buddy Program is so unique and I really appreciate it. I also loved the care circle--was very sweet and heart-warming experience.”

Also, it felt like a met a sister from another mister lol I am confident that my soul buddy was just that, a soul buddy, and now that we found each other, I think we’ll be riding the lifetime friendship wave. Thank you deeply for that♥️”

Soul Buddy Love
Why did we create this?
Co-Creators of the Womxn of Color Summit, Harpinder Mann and Irene Lo, met via an online decolonization mentorship and were then paired as accountability partners a few months into the program. After being paired together, they hopped on their initial hour-long conversation via Zoom and found lots of commonalities. They continued chatting on the phone for the next few weeks - connecting every week and talking for 1-2 hours. They were able to share their struggles with the wellness industry, how they were feeling that week, and celebrated each other when the other person win. The rest is as they say - history. This grew into a friendship and now a partnership and the creation of the Womxn of Color Summit. As a fun side note, Harpinder and Irene met for the first time in Los Angeles in November 2021 after two years of being partners virtually!
This is why we so strongly believe in the Soul Buddy Connection we have created. We are so grateful to have been paired together and to now have such a beautiful thriving partnership. We also know and embody that love can transmit, even virtually. We are social creatures and we hope everyone walks with one new friend - that connection is truly what we are striving for.
