Greetings,
This is my first post and at 53 this mode of communication is new for me so please be patient as I learn the process and etiquette of blogging. I have a psychiatrist friend who says "Jacke, you cast a wide net". I'm at the point where I need to bring greater focus to all that I create and share and I'm feeling the compulsion to bring voice to my journey....my life is worth being witnessed...and I'm told that my stories are inspirational and motivating. I want to share with you the contents within my net in hopes that it will help bring transformation and joy to you and our world.
I'm curious about what it is that's really wanting to be spoken so here we go!
I'll begin by telling you some about me. I guess we can call it a sort of Bio.
For over 30 years I've been meditating, and studying and practicing a wide variety of healing modalities with the intent of assisting people of all ages to improve the quality of their lives and live fully. I have received 3 meditation initiations over the course of these years beginning with Transcendental Meditation. I later lived with Baba Muktananda and was initiated into Siddha Yoga by him. Lastly with Sant Rajinder Singh in the Science of Spirituality meditating on light and sound.
I have a Masters degree in Administration and in Clinical Social Work and I’m licensed in both Oregon and Maryland as an LCSW-C. I operate a private healing practice incorporating a variety of conventional and unconventional healing methods both in person and by telephone. I provide counseling, healing and empowerment to individuals, couples, groups, mothers & daughters and business Executives. One special group work I facilitate is focused on healing sexuality. The group is called Our Sacred Selves: Weaving Our Sexual Stories. It is a process for writing your sexual story. My favorite healing methods include shamanism, PSYCH-K and Samyama. I am about to learn Matrix Energetics in July in San Francisco with Dr. Richard Bartlett and I am currently a student in a 2-year Wheel of Life course of study with Betsy Bergstrom, renowned for teaching depossession healing and mediumship.
My shamans are from the traditions of Core Shamanism, Judaism, Cherokee, the Divine Feminine, Yaqui, Ecuadorian Shuar and African Dagara. My Beloved teachers include Sheila Foster, Rabbi Gershon Winkler, Ravi Miriam Maron, Rabbi Ruth Gan Kagan, Ed Rothwell, Malidoma Patrice Some’, Peem Arcos, Lench Archuletta, Lenore Norrgard, Christina Pratt, Betsy Bergstrom, Richard Whiteley and Frank Coppieters.
Also, I am Principal and operate "Ma’at Associates: bringing light, wisdom and continuing education to mental health professionals and interested others”. I offer courses and workshops that qualify for CEs for MFT’s and LCSW;s as required by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences. I am certified through California as a continuing education provider. I also serve as a member of the continuing education committee for the National Association of Social Workers Oregon Chapter.
Lastly, I serve as a corporate shaman for bringing Executives’ business to life. Using shamanic practices I consult in person and by telephone with small businesses, non-profits and corporations throughout the country to make better and more informed decisions in all aspects of business, from assessment and planning to decision-making, staffing, execution and evaluation. My corporate shamanic practice is highlighted in Barbara Stanny’s latest book and fabulous new anthology, Breaking Through: Getting Past the Stuck Points in Your Life.
So let me know any thoughts or impressions that occur to you and oh, I would be honored to provide my services to any of you who feel drawn or called. Don’t hesitate to contact me and let’s discuss how I can help. I'm excited to hear from you...
'Til then ~ Love and Blessings

This is awesome and your are amazing. Congrats for getting this started. I look forward to your next entry as you have so much good stuff to share. To your blogging success. Kaya (AwakeningBusiness)
Thank you. One motivation for me stepping onto the blogging path comes from this: I've learned that when I look at any one particular event or time in my life, or any one particular consultation meeting or healing session, the opportune wholeness, guidance, inherent lesson, growth and development, and joy is blocked….as if a veil or curtain is lingering blocking the light. But when I remove the curtain, the moment the curtain comes down and I bring into light several or many events, times, meetings or healing sessions all at the same time, when I gift myself with a macro view….Voila, Magic!
At my core I feel an urgency, a relentless and incessant yearning that my life cannot remain as it is. Something is "calling"; I’ve known this feeling before. And it refuses to give up on me; it is a relentless yearning that things should heal this very moment but like compost, in order for the nutrients to be available for nourishment to a seedling, the timing requires patience. I’m ready, the seedling that I am, to climb my trellis.
Healing is a funny word; it’s use has been over saturated to the point where it’s meaning sometimes is opaque. Here, my meaning of healing relates to what is described in the Kabbalah as the “shattering vessel.” Morning after morning after morning – like a string of real pearls, the kind that when I drag my teeth across them, I feel the sand they called home in their shells – I’ve been making my plea, as though unable to tolerate another moment without arriving. And when the days have come to their end, I demand again as though morning never passed. So to bring tikkun olam of my life, to gather the shards scattered throughout my widely cast net, I’m living on the verge of eternity ready to soar.
