While traveling around the world, Catherine wound up living in 11 of the countries she visited. She has studied the Japanese tea ceremony in Tokyo, led women’s groups in celebration of Celtic spirituality in Ireland, and taught academic writing in the Netherlands. She currently lives in Italy with her husband, dog, and cat, and together they grow most of their own food. In her spare time, she’s a psychosynthesis psychologist and counselor as well as an avid cook.

A believer in the power of prayer, Catherine has had numerous articles published on spirituality and travel. One of her best memories is working at a retreat center in the Cairo desert, an oasis that attracted people of all faiths from around the world in an atmosphere of peace.
