"My journey from here on in will be much more exciting now that the blinders are off. I loved the class...Virginia Sobel is a born self-esteem instructor!"

"The Self-Esteem Workshop has changed my life more than you will ever know. It was so easy for me to feel comfortable and share. I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED IT."

I develop and teach workshops on a number of topics. These classes help participants learn to listen to the whispers of Spirit within and to recognize the wisdom they already possess. I bring warmth and empathy to all my workshops because I understand the challenges of the growth process.

Below is a partial listing of the classes I offer. You can email me or sign up to be notified of dates/times for these and other classes.
