The Ariadne Project-tools to slay your demons and escape the labyrinth

Oleg Lougheed was born into the world with all the odds stacked against him.  His mother was an alcoholic and he never knew his father.  There were days that he stole food to survive and nights that he slept on the street. At nine years old he entered the orphanage in hopes of finding a better life.  

I had the pleasure of meeting Oleg as the empowed adult, offering resources and hope wthin the adoption/ foster community as the founder of Overcoming Odds. The experiences of that orphan boy in Russia shaped him but he has not let those experiences define who he is as a person.  He is truely an exaple of one who is using his hardships to bring healing to himself and others.  He offers insights and tools from his own experiences that apply to all of us in our common human stuggle, whatever it may be.  May we all find our voice and learn to stand in our truth.

I was watching my third or fourth documentary on the imfamous crime couple, Bonnie and Clyde with my heart caught in my throat.  I had no idea of the back story that lead to that final shoot out with the police and I had a sudden awareness of how close I had come to going down in flames with my own "Clyde."  While many of us can put ourselves in another person's shoes, as an Empath, I will actually take on another person's emotions and feel them as if they were my own.  Combining this trait with the compulsive behavior of learned codependace-deriving my sense of value from external sources, I was set up to be a perfect "Bonnie."  

I share this piece of my own history as an act of authenticity in hopes that it will reach the heart of even a single individual that finds themselves at that kind of a crossroads.  Discovering the program of Codependents Annonymous, CoDA,  has literally saved my life. I have been blessed with fellowship and the guidaence of a sponsor and this personal journey of recovery is what has lead me to my own life path  of creating community and offering tools.  While codependence can manifest in many different forms, the principles for recovery are the same.  Below are some of the resources that have radically shifted my world.  In Light and Love- Kera Marie

Have you ever deliberatley repressed a "bad" emotion?  What if I told you that there are no good/bad emotions, that they all actually are informative and could guid us like a compass?  Humans are solcialized to be acceptable within a particular culture and often this subtly teaches us to repress certain emotions. 

My name is Kera Marie and the purpose of my boradcast is to create community and put tools for living your best life in your won hands.  Understanding that we have an emotional compass, that our heart is an intelligent organ and that emotions exist on a vibrational scale, is at the foundation of all my work as an Artist and a Healer.  Are you ready to raise your vibration and forge your way through the Labyrith with your newfound compass?

When I first met Savannah Ganzalez, I was in a pretty emotionally messed up space. I fist walked into her yoga class because I had accumulated enough running injuries that I finally had to look for some other form of exercise.  I had never done yoga before, but I soon realized that yoga could be so much more than a new exercise routine.  Through Savannah's personalized yoga therapy sessions I was being addressed as a mind, body and a soul, rather than in disected, compartmentalized pieces of me.  

Savannah takes us through her personal discovery of and changing relationship with yoga- how it provided the escape she needed when in the peak of depression and anxiety and now how she uses specific movements and breathing to address specific states of mind and mental health.  What a small thing breathe seems, and yet what a difference even that makes!
