James I. Kepner

Jim Kepner has been a guiding voice in Gestalt therapy, authoring the highly regarded classics Body Process, a groundbreaking approach to embodiment, and Healing Tasks, a compassionate exploration of the phases in recovery from childhood trauma. His insightful teachings, informed by over forty years of private practice, have reached therapists and seekers worldwide. Jim has taught workshops and training sessions on these approaches internationally, in addition to his private practice as a psychologist.

Driven by a deep curiosity about the frontiers of consciousness and healing, Jim expanded his exploration into subtle energy work and advanced states of consciousness. His pivotal energy-healing studies with Rev. Rosalyn Bruyere led to his co-founding of Pathways For Healing and Nervous System Energy Work, further enriching his understanding of human potential for transformation and advanced states of consciousness.

Now, Jim ventures into captivating new territory with About Time, a visionary work that blends his personal journey with a detailed recollection of a past life in 15th-century France as Étienne, taken in by alchemist Maestro Édouard. This spiritual memoir, praised as "a timely story about how we exist in time" and brimming with "intrigue, adventure, and magic," invites readers on a time-traveling adventure to explore reincarnation, alchemy, and the profound possibilities of healing across lifetimes. Prepare to be captivated by a story that reads like a novel and "invites the reader to imagine how our souls travel through time and space."

Jim's passion lies in evoking spiritual truths through compelling storytelling. The adventure continues in Book II of the series, Past the Past, in which Étiennes story unfolds further, alongside Jim's often humorous spiritual experiences in the 21st century.
