Welcome!

Who is Katherine Ari and why does she have this BlogSpot?
I was first given the name of Mary Katherine but I always preferred Marie with the accent on Ma. I discovered in therapy that what I really wanted to be named was Arie or Ari without the “M”. So who is Ari? Well, I discovered who she is and why she is me while doing a past life regression.
But that’s a story.

I AM a storyteller.

I was raised in a traditional religious doctrine but after I graduated from college I found I wanted to know more. I felt a bond to my Native American roots and also to my Celtic genetics. I am a student and researcher. I am a thinker. I have grown more and more spiritual. I AM a healer and spiritual seeker. And there are more stories.

I AM a storyteller who tells stories that help others.

I like to paint abstract paintings. With every painting I do, there is usually a story and when you hear the story, you can understand the picture.

I married in 1979 to an artist. We had three children and over the years have unofficially adopted many more children. Our children are artists, photographers, musicians, and students on their own spiritual path. The Law of Attraction means that they attract others of like mind. It takes a special talent and a lot of patience to understand the personalities of artists and it is another of my talents. I have a Masters Degree in Humanistic Psychology and have worked with young people for over 30 years. I love to help young people, love to work with teens and young adults, and provide a special kind of guidance and life coaching that is particularly directed to the creative mind.

I AM a storyteller that has stories to share that give creative young people a way to believe in themselves and to trust their own inner guide. It is a kind of spiritual life coaching. I AM a life coach.

I love animals. We are always attracting stray cats and dogs. We love our garden and we have a landscaping business where we create private or a personal Garden of Eden. Our Beautiful Garden attracts all sorts of wildlife. I like to go out in the woods and go hiking. I always encounter animals that have messages for me. I have many animal spirit guides and totems and use several teachers to expand my knowledge of their stories.

I AM a storyteller that shares the stories of the animal messengers so that others will stop and listen when the animals speak. (I reference books by Ted Andrews frequently who wrote a book Animal Speak and another called Animal Wise). I have many, many animal spiritual stories

I pray and meditate. I am a student of the Science of Mind and will be a licensed practitioner soon. I prefer to write my Spiritual Mind Treatment or Affirmative Prayers and I like to share what I write. The Science of Mind was founded by Ernest Holmes, but it is not a dogma. There are no requirements or rules or judgments. I like to share my Treatments that are on a variety of subjects.

I study all sorts of alternative healing, oracle cards, goddesses, Tarot, Numerology, Celtic beliefs, Native American Ceremonies, Spirits and the Faerie realm, and Shapeshifting. I study dance, art, photography, permaculture, water gardens and plants, and reincarnation. For any and all of these subjects, I use the knowledge I have acquired to help others. I am intuitive and empathic. Sometimes I just know things. I believe that I have things to share that will impact the lives of my readers and clients.

I AM a storyteller and I want to share with you and this medium is the way to reach the most people. I would like to do it all the time. It is a way to share a whole lot of LOVE with a large audience. I will be adding stories and prayers daily. I will also share pictures of my paintings.
