Transformation Is Not Meant to Be Walked Alone
When I think about the journeys that have changed my life most profoundly, they all have one thing in common: I didn’t walk them alone.
This spring, I had the honor of facilitating sacred journeys across Uganda, Ireland, Scotland, and Italy—and each one reminded me of the deep, often indescribable power that unfolds when we open our hearts, say YES to the unknown, and witness each other’s transformation.
A Glimpse of Shared Humanity in Uganda
In Uganda, as we sat in stillness in the rainforest, a mountain gorilla met my gaze. For a long moment, nothing else existed but that exchange. Around me, I saw the faces of fellow sacred travelers—tears, awe, something ancient awakening. That one moment of shared humanity reverberated through us for days. It reminded us that we are not separate. That when we witness the sacred in another, we remember it in ourselves.
Revelations in the Temples of Humankind
In Italy, we descended into the Temples of Humankind in Damanhur—spaces hand carved in a mountain by devotion and guided by vision. We embodied the energy, frequencies, and unmatched creativity as best we could, supporting one another in this sacred intention. The last two days we connected to one past life—the past life holding the most insight into our present life and the messages that can serve us most right now. Some of us had spontaneous visions. Others felt waves of deep emotion or sudden clarity. What connected us all was the willingness to be open. To trust. To receive. Even now, we are still processing those downloads together and alone.
When We Travel with Intention, Something Sacred Happens
Moments like these don’t come because we chase them. They come when we travel with intention. When we journey not just to experience sacred places, but to transform—and to support the transformation of others.
A New Way to Share What Matters Most
In a few days, I’ll be sharing something close to my heart—a new way to honor this spirit of connection and extend the ripples outward to others seeking meaning.
But before that, I invite you to pause and ask yourself:
What intention are you holding right now?
Who in your life might be seeking something sacred—and not even know it yet?
The Journey of the Soul meets you where you are. Keep your heart open.
The ripple begins soon…
With love and gratitude,
Karen
