A long time ago
I was brought up in a religiously saturated environment that left me
feeling very confused about God, Myself and my Human Journey.
By re-connecting with my Celtic roots and over 10 years of
Shamanic Teachings, Training and Life Practice,
I re-learned about the connectivity between
all living things and the importance of honouring that connection.
I have experienced Creators voice by spending meditative time,
both, in and with nature
and have discovered truths that go beyond the human voice.
This journey back to Earth Medicine was a key component
in bringing me out of a life long struggle with depression.
...this is...my story...my personal healing story that still continues today.
The seed of this book began when a death brought to me re-newed life
and the first 10 years of this journey was a raveling and unraveling
of everything I had been taught was true.
About myself, the world and God.
A spiral of building up and tearing down...
over and over again.
This book took almost 8 years to write,
as I was learning, growing and transforming along the way.
Even now the journey is still happening within and around me.
Writing down my story was a significant part of my healing.
It allowed me a place to be honest about my human, and heal my shame.
And I wanted to share the possibility of my story with others,
who can see themselves in my story.
That there is no shame in being human, and in fact it is what we are here to be.
Messy, stumbling around, beautiful, tragic, and amazing human beings.
Each of us with a purpose; our individual threads adding something needed
to this tapestry called Life.

"I founds myself in many moment of sacred pause throughout this book. Catherine's story telling is direct and intimate...she weaves a solid ground of storytelling that feels pure and untainted. I found myself in moments of full-on heart bursting grief and hope. This story will show you how to unearth the creation of love in an unloving environment...how it's possible to discover the source of self as a divine and deserving creature."
