A social activist and prolific artist since childhood, Rashani Réa continues to be a resilient voice in the emerging inter-spiritual movement. Her non-sectarian offerings are rooted in nature, social justice, self-inquiry, the Deep Feminine, Wu-wei, ancient perennial wisdom traditions and several contemporary psycho-spiritual teachings. She has recorded 15 albums of Soetry (songs and poetry), published 40 books and has created more than 350 greeting cards in celebration of the diversity of timeless wisdom. A mother, lover, grief whisperer, builder & architect, tree planter, devoted gardener & landscape artist, Rashani has co-created two eco-sanctuaries on the Big Island of Hawai`i, where she currently resides. She has been facilitating retreats and offering councils, kirtans and participatory concerts throughout the world for the past 35 years and offers 2 and 4-week individual & group retreats at Kipukamaluhia Sanctuary—her home—in Hawai`i.

CO-AUTHOR ATA:
Inspired poetry has been flowing through Chelan Harkin for years though her publishing journey is only a year and a half old. Her launch into sharing her poetry with the world has been mystical, transformational and filled with prayer experiments gone right. She is thrilled to now be offering speaking events nationally and internationally. Chelan is 33 years old and lives in a geographically spectacular region of Washington state in the US with her husband, Noah, and their two small, beautiful children, Amari and Nahanni. In her poetry and in her life, Chelan continually invites the fumbling, suffering parts of our human nature along with our divinity to meet for tea in the heart, to have a great laugh, celebrate our sacred grief and share a big hug. Along with Taste the Sky, she has authored two other books of poetry, Susceptible to Light and Let Us Dance!: The Stumble and Whirl with The Beloved. More to come soon!
