Karen is also a sacred tour organizer.  According to Karen:

"The energetics of these places coupled with the preparation we make for each journey helps us connect with the deeper realms of body, soul, heart and mind, often providing needed guidance and direction in our lives. We often hear those we travel with say time and place mysteriously seems to dim, as pilgrims immersed in the cycle of past, present and future see history through a surreal lens."

A tour to sacred sites of the Divine Feminine is in the works for the Fall of 2010.  Interested parties should join Karen's mailing list on her website at www.karentate.com/index.html.
