My personal transformation while attending Chinese Medicine School school seeped through the intellectual and into the heart and soul of my current being. It was not easy. 8 years of information packed into 3 years to include an average a 3 hour commute and course load ranging from 12 to 21 credit hours a term. Meanwhile in the background MOSTLY compartmentalized I navigated the realm of intellect vs intuition vs divine guidance coupled with denial, pleading, understanding and acceptance leading to the end of my 8-year marriage 4 months before I graduated (just before final exams I might add: because reluctance in acceptance, and procrastination in dealing with emotional intensities leads to AWESOME timing!) For two years following graduation, I traveled locally as well as internationally along my journey to find and reconnect myself. I've had a good number of personal trials to overcome and opportunities to act on past lessons learned. I've explored the world of plant medicines, engaged with multiple shaman's, spirit guides, religious leaders, dreamers, seekers as well as thous sot. Having a more clear understanding around my graspless grip on "reality" I continue my shadow work so that I may become a complete person.
