Our Mission

  • Is to provide a sacred space that allows an individual to explore aspects of his/her self so that he/she may redirect the energy typically required to hold old habitual patterns of behavior and belief with the result that this energy can now be used toward the creative expression of your true self unhindered by past experience or trauma.

  • To help in the transformation of all our relations (stone, plant, animal and human) and consequently bring about the transformation of the whole planet.

Center Of The Soul

The concept of the Center of the Soul or COTS came to me (Jim) in the ‘90’s while I was still doing academic research. At that time I felt a need to incorporate both the logical aspects of the left brain with the more intuitive skills of the right brain and heart in the exploration of human diseases. I didn’t see how at that time and it has taken over a decade to receive the necessary training to make such a center a reality – to make it a place where people can come to experience those deeper levels of themselves in a safe and comfortable way. A place where human disease or imbalance can be addressed and transformed.

James Trofatter

Even though I have an extensive education in the sciences (B.S. in Zoology – Duke University; M.S. in Development and Differential Cell Biology– Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey; Ph.D. in Medical and Molecular Genetics– Indiana University), I have always felt that there is an underlying mystery below the surface of reality that cannot be explained by the reductionist approach that the scientific method uses to explain phenomena. After I left my assistant professor position in the Department of Psychiatry at the Indiana University Medical School, I delved more deeply into how to explore and experience these deeper aspects of reality.

This led me initially along two major pathways: 1) the exploration of conscious embodiment through the teachings of Saniel Bonder and now the Trillium Awakening community in which I am currently an Interning Teacher; and 2) the exploration of the levels of reality and the Healing the Light Body as taught by the Four Winds Society which includes the shamanic practices brought to the United States from Peru by Alberto Villoldo. My training has now expanded to include: the work of Dr. Mikao Usui and Reiki (levels 1 & 2); the work of Christine Day and the Frequencies of Brilliance (level 1-3) that allows an explore of the levels of one’s own Being; the work of Richard Bartlett and Matrix Energetics (levels 1 & 2) that allows one to play within the quantum field of reality; and the Dying Consciously work taught by Linda Fitch of the Four Winds Society and the Institute of Energy Medicine that allows one to make the transition from this plane of reality to the inner worlds in a conscious manner.

Testimonials

”Working with Jim was the most important part in healing my past experiences AND in understanding my own emotional states. He holds the space for me and enables me to safely access areas of my life that would normally be too uncomfortable to enter. Nobody really teaches us how to deal with our emotions and traumas and Jim continues to teach me how to process both basic as well as very deeply seated emotions and experiences. What he offers is so incredibly rare and powerful. I’ve worked with Jim for over a year now and the energetic shift he has helped facilitate is incredible. Thank you!” Katarina S. - 2019 (Yoga Essence Project)

“I was lucky enough to find Jim early on in my spiritual journey. He was attending my Friday night yoga class for months before I realized he did shamanic work! I started seeing him about twice a month for energy work and soul retrieval work. It changed my life and had shaped everything that I am doing now.

Jim has a gift for helping you get right to the bottom of whatever is bothering you. It's his superpower. I often went in for a session thinking... I don't know why I am here, everything is going well. And five minutes into the session, I was deep inside of a clearing.

As a result of working with him, I am able to hold a more neutral space for myself and for others. After just a few sessions, I would notice my reaction to what used to make me upset or angry just simply not there anymore. I have a deep sense of peace in my heart and am easily able to handle any ups and downs that come my way.

I highly recommend Jim to anyone interested in working on themselves for any reason.” - Laura H. - 2019 (It’s You, Guru)
