Here are two things that I love - -
Mt Shasta, and my horse, Cassanova. Cass is 'retired' now and living at an 'old horse farm.' Completely blind, he wanders his fenced pasture with his herd. He's adapted to his circumstances with the same calm and collection that he showed during the days when he taught me to ride.
Mt Shasta is the place where my soul sings and my life is renewed. Every time i walk on this sacred mountain, I receive such blessings, guidance and beauty! The last trip I took was on 8-8-08, and I was circled by bald eagles, viewed by a cougar, watched by a fox, and had a hawk swoop so close to me that I felt the air from its wings.
Melissa has served as a consultant to the business community for over 25 years. Working with for profit and nonprofit organizations, she assists professionals to bring spiritual principles and awareness to practical aspects of business. Her clients include: Citibank, University of California-Berkeley, Center for Particle Astrophysics, Bayer Pharmaceutical, The Council for a World Parliament of Religions, Cavalia, NaNoWriMo, and Chochmat HaLev, to name but a few.
Melissa teaches people about the feminine face of God for three decades. A lover of the world’s religions she has (among other things) studied the Lakota Medicine Wheel, lived in a Zen Monastery, backpacked for over 10 months in the wilderness.
She has held staff positions with The Council for a World Parliament of Religions; and was a presenter at the Chicago (1993,) Capetown (1999,) and Barcelona (2004) Parliaments. She has taught at workshops and conferences throughout the United States, United Kingdom, South Africa and New Zealand – on spiritual business practices; writing for gold and glory; women’s spirituality; and creation spirituality.
She is an accomplished professional writer who freelances (when projects appeal to her.) her talents. She has served as Executive Vice-President of Sales & marketing for several major companies ¬ and weathered the Dot.Com boom and bust.
Melissa graduated from The Institute of Culture and Creation Spirituality with two Masters Degrees: Deep Ecumenism (the commonality of all religions) and Deep Psychology (the art of spiritual direction) with a focus in Art-As-Meditation. She fussed around with a Ph.D. but grew bored and stopped. Melissa also received certification from The Center for Spiritual Direction. In addition she has completed certification programs in: Jewish Healing, Reiki 1,2, & Master, herbalism and Bach Flowers 1 & 2, and is completing her Practitioner certification.
