Pagan Mystic
My Teachers
'When the student is ready, the teacher appears.'
Here are some notes on the teachers on my journey. If you feel drawn to one, they may be "appearing" to you. Go check them out.
Dorothea Juno-Johnston
Dorothea Juno-Johnston is my mom and the most significant teacher on my path. She is a healer, minister, author, and role model extraordinaire. There are so many things she has taught me. The most significant is that transformation is not just possible but life's purpose. I learned to believe in the beauty and lightness of life and to do the work to make it manifest in this reality. She is a Wise Woman and a valued elder
Starhawk
Starhawk is one of the most influential elders of the neo-Pagan movement in America. In Pagan circles, people know her name. There isn't a need to "introduce" her here.
For me personally, I learned from Starhawk the grounding effect of Intention and the extraordinary power of ritual to transform. If you are interested in a Pagan path, her books are a great place to start. If you are interested in activism from a place of Earth spirituality or living your life in connection to the Earth, Starhawk is for you.
Sai Maa
Her Holiness Jagadguru Sai Maa Lakshmi Devi Mishra is a world-renowned spiritual master, healer, and humanitarian. If you have never met a living Master, it is quite an experience. They are different. There is plenty of information about Sai Maa on her website, I won't repeat it here.
Sai Maa is a spiritual Master, but not my Master. I know this for certain because she told me to find my Master. I do feel extraordinarily grateful that she is willing to be one of my Teachers. Working with Sai Maa is like hitting the turbo charge button on transformation. Take a look at her website, see if it resonates.
Renee Shannon
Renee Shannon is an extraordinary healer and teacher. I call her my Energy Therapist for lack of a better term. I've been working with Renee for several years. She is a guide, mentor and teacher on the path to Awakening. She also provides me with absolute loving support and regular energetic healing. Renee provides private energy sessions. If her name calls out to you, send me an email in the contact form on the Home page. I will facilitate an introduction if it is meant to be.
Michael Singer
Michael Singer is the author of The Untethered Soul and The Surrender Experiment. I really appreciate his way of explaining the cosmos and what life is all about in such a matter-of-fact way. Most influential for me is the eight-part video series he did with Sounds True, Living from a Place of Surrender This series showed up in my life when I had just been laid off from a job. It provided me with such wonderful tools to allow the experience to unfold.
Kelle Sparta
Kelle Sparta has a podcast called Spirit Sherpa. This is a fabulous guide for those looking for an introduction to all things spiritual. When I was first introduced to the podcast, I binged listened for two days straight (not my usual podcast listening style). Kelle has a number of courses and services to guide people on the path of Awakening. I had a couple of Energy Scans with her. Basically she gave me six months of spiritual work to do and a loving energetic boost to get on with it. It was perfect for me. I can highly recommend checking out her podcast and scheduling a Discovery Call to find out more.
I also had the privilege and delight of being a Listener Profile on the podcast.
Oprah Winfrey
Oprah Winfrey! Do you really need a link to find out who Oprah Winfrey is? I don't think so. I'm a huge fan. I love SuperSoul Sunday, such wonderful inspiration. For me, Oprah is a living example of acting from a place of soul-being. I aspire to do the same.
Llewelyn Vaugh Lee
Llewelyn Vaughn Lee is a Sufi teacher. Llewelyn's time in my life was brief but immensely impactful. He did an episode on SuperSoul Sunday. I listened to that episode 20+ times. That is unusual for me. I almost never listen to a podcast more than. once. When he described himself as primarily a mystic and what that meant, my heart sang. The words will sound very familiar if you read my home page.
Bob Fischer
Bob Fischer is an Enterprise Agile Coach. I've learned a lot from Bob about Agile. But more importantly, he broke my heart open. From Bob, I have learned how to create love every day with joy and enthusiasm. My life has more light and Love because of his presence in my life.
