Kathleen's Words
Who Is The Goddess?
As a couple’s therapist, I have seen the destructive ravages of women unsconsciously wielding excessive Kali energy in their relationships and with their children. The operative word when working with such powerful energies is “conscious”—is the energy being expressed conscious or not? The powerful Kali is not only deeply transformative, but extraordinarily loving, and able to bring an end to things that need to be destroyed for the sake of evolution. In her book, Awakening to Kali: The Goddess of Radical Transformation , Sally Kempton says “Whether Kali seems terrifying, fascinating, or loving depends on our state of consciousness and our level of both emotional and spiritual development.

Feeling Grateful
As I was about to write this message to all of you, I got up from the table where I had been sitting in pajamas with a dear friend and housemate, in this beautiful apartment on a cold November morning, the howl of the wind in the background, sacred music playing.
How To Repair A Relationship
Once a year, tens of thousands of people gather in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert to create Burning Man, Rock City, a community dedicated to art, self-expression, and self-reliance. In this crucible of creativity, a particular sculpture caught people’s attention this past year, inviting them to interpret its meaning.
Meeting The Beloved
There are many planes of reality, from the physical Earth plane to higher dimensions where all is made of light. In this plane, matter does not exist as we know it here on Earth. One of the most beautiful aspects of the journey of becoming fully conscious is the meeting with your Beloved.
Why Bother?
“Still and all, why bother? Here's my answer. Many people need desperately to receive this message: I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. You are not alone.” ~Kurt Vonnegut How “why...
