About Kathy Hearn
“In my early 20’s while studying the Transcendentalists and others writing about the oneness at the core of existence, a mystical experience opened me to the realization that I am part of a great wholeness of life. This perception helps me remember that all circumstances and situations can be used for awakening to greater spiritual truth, awareness and freedom. It calls us up to seek higher meaning in life and to fully embrace the dance we do, centered as we are between heaven and earth.”
