Meet Cathy
of Wisdom House
For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated with the natural world.
I was drawn to the trees, the tadpoles, the moon and stars, and the ineffable something more. Along the way I became profoundly interested in the cycles of Light and Dark, Earth and Sky, and the interplay of the seasons. I had my first astrology reading in 1984. It galvanized me with deep insights into myself, and expanded my life and spiritual direction. About the same time, I was introduced to the Divine Feminine – the Goddess and the Earth Based spirituality of our distant ancestors, the First Peoples of this world. My journey with the Goddess overlaid my Christian upbringing beautifully, as well as my understanding of astrology and healing. I studied healing and the human energy field at The Barbara Brennan School of Healing. I graduated from their four-year program in 2004, and had an energy healing practice for 14 years. Through my healing practice, I realized there was a deeper layer to our being. I found the door to that layer — the level of the soul — in Shamanic Healing. I have 3 years of formal training in Core Shamanism and 9 years in healing practice. Then, in 2018 I heard the forest calling me again, this time in the form of an offering at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Health: a training in leading mindful outdoor experiences. It brought so many pieces together for me, combining my love of nature and moving with the rhythms of the seasons with my spiritual life, healing, and shamanic practices. In November 2018 I became a Certified Kripalu Mindful Outdoor Guide.
I am a wife, mother, grandmother, and gardener living soulfully among the hills of Vermont where I listen to the earth and the sky.
