Gentle Like Water: A path for the Selful Soul Workshops
FREE
Join me in celebrating the launch of my much-revised Gentle Like Water: a path for the selful soul.
- get to know yourself better
- take responsibility for your healing
- challenge yourself towards your own growth
- think about: what needs to change, how can I change it, how do we create a better world for all?
Sign up for one or more of the FREE workshops. Each workshop runs for 2 hours from 9am to 11am. Please feel free to sign up for more than one workshop:
- Monday, 27 April: Journaling for Joy – Madiba had to have been a journaler. For real. Join me, and I’ll tell you why, and then we’ll get stuck into doing some of your own journaling (I’m a strong believer in making things practical.
- Tuesday, 28 April: Know yourself – The third theme in my book is Knowing yourself and a challenge to do the inner work required. A question: Do you think Donald Trump spends time getting to know himself? Come and join us, and you’ll discover the truth.
- Wednesday, 29 April: For Men Only – Why? Because! Come men, get in touch with your own divine feminine; also come along if you want to confront yourself or share and talk about how you honour the divine feminine around you, with you, and in you.
- Thursday, 30 April: Trust is the creator – Let’s talk about those leaps of faith, those new starts, those beckonings and nudges that we have – to let go, to embrace, to transform, to heal.
- Friday, 1 May: Conscious Activism – Let’s think about and discuss what it means to be conscious of our actions and our activism. Are we? Do we think before we portray ourselves as activists? Are we aware of the consequences of our actions on others? Let’s chat, share and grow with and from one another.
Shared with an abundance of love for the amazing people we are – let’s take time for our healing. It all starts with us.

Gladys has been working in the sector of human rights and development throughout her career. She was a student and trade union activist during apartheid and continued her activism through the work she did in adult education. She began her consultancy, Communicating Simply, in 1998 and continues this work, specifically focusing on writing skills facilitation and mentoring, writing on behalf of organisations (histories, educational materials, newsletters, reflection documents, etc) and evaluations.
In 2020, she started a new initiative, The Selful Soul, through which she offers tarot readings (focused on reflection and guidance rather than divination) on social media as well as socio-political content.
Gladys published Gentle Like Water: a path for the selful soul on Women’s Day, 9th August 2023 at the Durban International Book Festival. This is a revised edition of Gentle Like Water, aimed specifically at men, especially men of colour/black men. Gladys is halfway through the creation of a deck of reflection cards highlighting the themes in Gentle Like Water and is working on supplementary material to help people use the books in support of others, whether in organisations or groups of individuals concerned with their personal soul growth.
