Description

"EVOLUTION OF THE SOUL~ The Path of Conscious Transformation"

The inspiration for our book is founded from Shari's International Intuitive Readings and Robert'sMedical Herbalist and Naturopathic Practice.

We explore the Body/Mind/Spirit connection, the underlying triggers of human behavior, repetitive patternsand core emotions that reveal key universal themes.

We examine Soul Contracts, Destiny Blueprints, Akashic Records, Trauma, Grief and Healing, Plant Kingdom Healing, Karmic Choreography, Relational Dynamics, Evolutional Unfoldment and the Afterlife.

Included are our personal stories, as the journeyhas been our greatest teaching. It is our Soul inspired mission on Earth to dig deeply into what drives us and shapes our choices as "Humans living with Spirit."

We are all interconnected in this universe as awakening Souls on our journey.

Why am I here on Earth and what am I learning; who am I
What is my Soul Contract, Akashic records and Life Mission
Why do we experience catastrophic hardship, trauma and loss
How do our childhood and emotional wounds shape our identity and relationships
How do we rediscover hope and create more joyful connections
What are the stages of Soul Development here and in the Afterlife
How do we find magic, happiness, purpose and meaning living on the Earth Plane
How do we connect with our intuition, inner guidance and Soul
Are we following our hearts and the call of destiny

"The Infinitude of the stars dwells inside our consciousness.
Beyond the Spectral Veil, the Unlimited Unified Field opens.
The Universe is spacious and holds everything we need.
This is the container that holds our free spirit"
Shari & Robert

Good people come from the heart of good people and Evolution of theSoul is a great book for a reason.
Shari and Robert are not linear andthe paths they have taken have plenty of curves and cul-de-sacs.
The path taken is the journey of self-discovery. I am thrilled their storyis being shared with the world.
I was lucky to read an advanced copyand know every reader will learn a lot about themselves.

It has been said that everyone can draw; some draw in stick figures,other in minute detail. Similarly, we are all intuitive, though some struggle to receive these messages, while others are receiving messages frommany senses and dimensions.
Shari is the Claude Monet of intuitionhaving a rare gift of deep insightfulness.
Her talents have served andsupported so many individuals along their journey.
Evolution of the Soulwill allow many others access to her divine wisdom.
When Gaia offers us her medicinal apothecary, she needs Souls whohave intimate understanding of the wisdom of plants for their magic and curative abilities to take effect. Robert is a master herbal craftsman who has lived and breathed this modality for literally thousands ofpatients and remains as passionate as ever about herbal medicine whilealways holding a space of empathy, compassion and hope for his clients.
Evolution of the Soul will be a gift to all those who read it.

I have known Shari for about 18 years and have experienced her Intuitive Readings. She is a very talented, insightful and intuitive individual with a deeply inquisitive and empathetic approach to her work and her life.
Her work shines a light on my own personal journey, supporting my inquiry and exploration into life and being. Shari has a wisdom and approach to life, when shared, that enriches all who come into contact. By presenting her thoughts, ideas and personal knowledge, she can only make the world a richer place and those who delve into the pages of Evolution of the Soul will only be enriched.
Robert is a very talented Medical Herbalist & Naturopath. He brings an open, enquiring mind to his practise, combining his scientific, intuitive, and empathetic approach to his work. His consultations are thorough, insightful and very helpful.
The combining of these two minds with their myriad of experiences, insights, knowledge and skills has produced an insightful, lucid and thought-provoking book, challenging the reader to reconsider and expand their own world view.

I have been a fortunate recipient of Shari Rhodes insights of the humancondition and psyche.

When my 22-year-old son died by suicide, I knew I needed support to stay strong for myself and my younger son.
Working with Shari and Robert has helped me navigate the emotional, psychological and spiritual impact of grief.
Sharis intuitive insights and Roberts holistic health care gave me the strength to navigate grief without losing myself.
Over time, I have developed a deeper trust in my intuition, greater compassion for myself and a clearer sense of what I need to stay well.
Evolution of the Soul offers gentle wisdom and hope for anyone learning to live with deep loss.
It captures the same wisdom Shari and Robert offered me, gentle, grounded, and deeply human guidance for finding your way through loss, while slowly rebuilding from within.
Grief changes us, but with the right support, we can keep growing.
