Want to be a better captain of your mind & soul? This 1st travel guide shows you how Dr Whetham demonstrates how to transform suffering to meaning through authentic 2-way relationships and how that discovery is key for our soul and mental health. You’ll learn why dialogue, in neuroscience terms, stimulates neural growth and enhances mental health.
Soul Food Cafe’s three Mind & Soul Travel Guides are designed to renew your mind and soul. We lead you on an adventure using ‘tell, show, do’ education principles. In Travel Guide 1 we tell you about the 3 levels of existence using existentialism (Aesthetic, Ethical, Religious/Spiritual), the 3 minds in neuroscience (Chaotic, Contemplative, Compassionate) and propose a DSM guide for the soul (Despair, Suffering, Meaning). In Travel Guide 2 we show you the journey of discovery using personal insights and the psychology of meaning-making. In Travel Guide 3 we draw on some of the great Christian thinkers to help you move from old way to new way. Welcome aboard!
Our Mind and Soul Travel Guide series (3 books) accompany the Soul Food Café online courses. Soul Food Café is an organisation who aims to promote spiritual health as a pathway to mental health.
At Soul Food Café we believe it is possible to find beauty, meaning and purpose in a seemingly broken world. And our soul is tough and tenacious enough to find it. We provide a safe space for stories, skills and support to flourish. By exploring how our smaller story intersects with our soul story we give voice to the deeper things of the mind and soul that will help you to thrive, not just survive. The basic idea of Soul Food Café is to transform existing community cafés into informal sacred spaces where we reflect, connect and grow with others. Our cafés are also community training spaces where we use three core courses to deepen our self-awareness, spirituality and listening skills, to assist others who are soul searching. We take you on a journey of discovery where you will be coached by others and, in turn, become a coach to others.
We offer a number of well-being resources that are designed to renew your mind and soul:
• Mind & Soul Travel Guides (3 books): 1. Journey of Discovery, 2. Built for Adventure, 3. Soul Talk.
• Journey of Discovery Courses: 1. Self-Discovery, 2. Shared Discovery, 3. Discovery Coach.
• Optional Courses: 1. Retrain My Brain, 2. Brain-Based Resilience Training, 3. Soul Searching.

In our modern world, fast food, fast cars and fast technology all rev us up to do, not slow us down to be. It’s normal to do work while reading e-mails, listening to music and checking text messages - all at the same time! Sitting still is often difficult to do when we keep ourselves so busy and distracted. Our high-speed adventure typically wins out over the need to “be still and know”. However, we are human be-ings not do-ings.
