Trained as a High School English Teacher, Donna Salemink used the Language Arts to create, explore, engage with, and institute fresh possibilities in the world. Her work with students and teachers in the Colorado public school system lasted until it stopped in 2011 for reasons she attempts to understand in this very book. Subsequent years have been a deep dive into her intuitive capacities, the very nature of embodiment, and the gift of consciousness. She never dreamed she would be hit by lightning but she was and it only strengthened her connection to the intense and strange energetics of the planet, her own body, and the bodies of those she does private session work with.
