Marsha’s journey began in 1977 when she had a spontaneous energetic experience that opened her to ranges and levels of reality she could have never dreamt of. This event was followed by two years of all kinds of phenomenon. Visions, energetic experiences, healing, seeing, and hearing were some of the ranges of experience.
A path opened to her and Hannah Veary, a Hawaiian Elder mentored her over an eight-year period and inducted her into the heart and soul of the old Hawaiian culture. She has also experienced some of the heart and the medicine of the Native American Indians working with Rolling Thunder and Sun Bear.
