The defining years of my childhood were spent opening to the Divine Mysteries of this world and the Source behind those mysteries, under the sheltering guidance of my paternal grandmother. What she taught me was sourced in an ageless transmission – shared from mother to daughter for countless generations, and thought to be “secret.” In this time of paradigm shift, it has become important to me to directly transmit to others this foundation of meaning and process of transmission that may very well be ONE path to Tikkun. And so, I invite you – women and men – to consider embarking on this journey of re-discovery with me, and to contribute to the process.
