Since the 1960's, my passion has been to guide & empower people to live their lives from their true nature, their most authentic selves, so that collectively we can transform Planet Earth. My role as teacher, psychotherapist and writer has provided me with a wonderful forum for this, as do my online classes and the workshops I offer around the country. My Doctorate of Ministry is from Venus Rising University in Shamanic Pyscho-Spiritual studies and I received an Masters of Social Work from the University of Illinois. As an LCSW, I have been in a private psychotherapy practice, specializing in Transpersonal Psychotherapy for several decades. Check out my blogs: Empowering the Spirit to Activate Your Soul Potentialhttp: //empoweringthespirit.blogspot.com/ and Living Our Multidimensional Potential, (http: //multi-dimensionalpotential.blogspot.com/). You can find information on the online classes and workshops I offer at my website at http: //www.empoweringthespirit.com/OL/ Now that our children are raised and launched, my husband and I have moved to the beautiful Smoky Mountains, building a home in a teaching and healing community filled with people committed to sustainability and personal & spiritual growth.
