We must delve into areas of ourselves that have long been hidden from view, looking with self-compassion whenever a new awareness surfaces. We need to search for understanding and then follow it all the way through, mining it for every precious ounce of healing possible. Every glimpse of our true self will inspire us to go on.
To do this work, it helps to have a map of our inner landscape and a headlamp for seeing into dark corners. That’s what Jill Loree has created in this collection of spiritual teachings called Finding Gold. It taps into a rich vein of wisdom about the work of finding the self, illuminating the journey from various important perspectives.
To gain a deeper sense of our own true value is to find gold. And wow, what a worthwhile prospect that is.
Jill Loree has been navigating her Gemini nature her whole life. She graduated from the University of Wisconsin with a degree in Chemistry, which she then leveraged into a career in business-to-business advertising; she enjoys the challenge of thinking creatively about scientific topics.
That said, her real passion in life has been her spiritual path. Raised in the Lutheran faith, she became a more deeply spiritual person in the rooms of Alcoholic Anonymous starting in 1989. Then in 1997, she was introduced to a body of spiritual teachings she describes as “having walked through the doorway of a fourth step and found the whole library.”
In 2007, Jill completed four years of training to teach the Pathwork material and work with others in applying these teachings to their lives. She has taught at Sevenoaks Retreat Center in Madison, Virginia, operated by Mid-Atlantic Pathwork, where she also led marketing activities for over two years and served on the Board of Trustees.
In 2012, Jill completed four years of Kabbalah training in a course called the Soul’s Journey, achieving certification for hands-on healing using the energies embodied in the tree of life.
She is the proud mom to two adult children and is now dedicating her life to spiritual teaching and writing.
