CATHARSIS
CATHARSIS
“CATHARSIS is accelerated, intense, potent. I blow my own mind the further that we go. Every week we unveil something MASSIVE. I’m satisfying every part of me that can’t stand where I am.” - Sierra
“CATHARSIS is radical therapy. It is an initiation into a type of femme-power-goddess-culture that you’ve always craved, always suspected was possible, but never had the words for. Kwonyin is engaging with powerful, deep, and ancient work; and this is palpable when you work with her. CATHARSIS helped me begin to witness and welcome the parts of me I’d long rejected and couldn’t bear to look at. Kwonyin brought me face to face with my shame, which I’d been taught to hide and disown my entire life. Her sincere ever-evolving personal journey and research and excavation are all fodder for her expertise. Her bravery is infectious: she models how to be unafraid to look at every part of oneself, and she’s similarly open-minded with how she crafts her offering. Her wisdom and practice is multi-informed - she synthesizes various schools of thought to create an all-encompassing experience. She combs diverse methods and ethoses for sacred truths and practical tools to offer her clients.” - Lauren
“Kwonyin provided a radically loving and liberating space to be with deep deep sorrows I had not been able to see before, which were weighing me down each day. The space she created, and the way she actively listened and facilitated the uncovering of lost parts of myself, has continued to nourish me months later. It is foundational work which builds a new paradigm for your personal healing. I am now navigating my path with more clarity and with awareness to my own sovereignty. Thank you Kwonyin for busting me out of some very old cages.” - R.B.
“why are there more resources invested in outer space - than diving in the depths of the ocean? is it the pressure, or the darkness that leaves waters unexplored? manifest destiny lookin to- fuck up the next frontier...
I am in gratitude for our shared work -
listening - really listening is a multilayered project/process -
in your listening, you guided me through a creative revisionist drafting -
time travel and shadow play - this is why...
as a brown indigenous woman - they want to rape me, and make me invisible -
I will not stop remembering, writing, learning, teaching, creating, revising and ....
what I have come to understand is the work is in the spiral - the coming around, and gettin’ down....
the one place the fascist hand can’t touch is my imagination -
thank you for adding to my weaponry and reminding me.
so much love sister.
xoxo,
JE”
“CATHARSIS helped me to begin the process of integrating the hurt, grieving part of me with the rest of myself. I’ve become able to fold my experience of loss into my life – as an essential and unavoidable part of what it is to be human. Instead of being an open emotional wound, it has become a source of strength, of compassion both for myself and for others.” - Rowland
“In one session, Kwonyin was able to help me unlock a key part of my personal past that has been thwarting me at every turn. Yes—in just one session! I never had this kind of breakthrough in my 11 years of traditional talk therapy.” - FREJYA KAH
“i am still feeling, every day, the ripple effect of our work. all levels have been affected. I have more tools for accessing my magic and knowing about the somatic blockages that silence divine feminine as it rises from the source. the work has just begun and i am so grateful that kwonyin showed me a path full of pleasure and creation” - Emma
“thank you deeply for reflecting back to me the transformational power and beauty that lies in the depths of my shadows. you created a space that was non-judgmental of anything that was rising to the surface, and where deep healing work was understood to be for the highest good of our ancestral lines and collective consciousness. it’s fills my heart to know that i took a chance on this course and your wondrous guidance! now i carry with me more tools to commune and be in power with my emotional intelligence, in lieu of being content with silencing the parts of me that have been fractured.” - catherine
“I feel like I have the tools to help myself when I’m in an intense moment and you made that possible with your gentle listening and wisdom <3 ” M.A.
“You helped me transform a turbulent and chaotic time into a constructive time.” - S.V.
“There is a comfort and soothing with your energy and tone, through you I've learned to open up to myself, to my gut where my most inner me lives. I've learned to be with others through you.” - Amy
“I recommend Kwonyin heartily to anyone looking for a guide in these baffling times. Kwonyin radiates friendly, engaged presence. I felt her vibration of steady companionship and benefitted abundantly from her spiritual power, her humor, her compassion for my human experience, and her gentle, unshakeable, protective guidance. I engaged Kwonyin to help me with something I’ve struggled with my whole life, the type of gnarly, potent theme that affects all domains and levels of life, from the manifest physical plane all the way back to the deeper inner source levels. I felt that Kwonyin was profoundly capable of handling all dimensions of my quandary, and that she is equipped with a variety of tools for engaging at whatever level necessary to help make lasting changes that matter.” - holly
“you saved me from the prison no one knows how to get out of. the way out is this mysterious terrifying way, and you guided me through that portal with so much love. i'm in awe of who you are, what you teach, the energy you embody. i can't believe you exist. you are kwonyin.” - unicole unicron
“Kwonyin’s work in CATHARSIS is the antidote for the New Age epidemic of spiritual bypassing, or the denial of “negative” emotions, painful experiences and any truth that may be incredibly difficult to swallow. Rather than championing you to find the way “out” through making “positive” changes, she initiates you into the path of the Deep Dive, the willingness to embody the parts of ourselves that are begging to be made conscious. Her warrior spirit is most vivid in her willingness to allow space for the darkness within us to be given all it has ever truly needed — the chance to be fully allowed, compassionately witnessed, deeply heard, closely held and slowly integrated with gratitude for the message it bears.” - Liberty
“the most transformative thing i’ve ever done in my life. i’ve done therapists, psychiatrists. but i’ve never experienced a shift in perspective, a coming home to myself. i realized how much i lived my life on what other people want, and rejecting my shadow self. i thought ‘getting better’ was getting rid of those things. i’m a human being, with many different facets and they’re all ok. i don’t know where i’d be without this.” h.w.
“my session with Kwonyin changed my life. it was a catalyst to develop an ACTUAL relationship with my inner child meaning a relationship with my REAL SELF. meaning skills to cope in this sick world and deal with the loss and sadness i’ve experienced in my life and the ways its held me back. she’s refreshed my eyes and my connection to myself. she helped me realize i’ve had this power all along DOROTHY!! we need healers like Kwonyin.” - Luisa
“Emotions which I couldn’t believe I had kept inside such as disgust, deep disappointment and hatred towards my family all came flowing out of me. The most important gift Kwonyin gave me was the reminder that these emotions were not bad or that I wasn’t bad for feeling or thinking what I did. It was permission and complete acceptance. Pure love. I noticed that I was beginning to make bigger bolder decisions based on excited and moved my heart. I listened to spirit more than my fears, and instead of trying to banish my fears I allowed them and let them coexist with joy, hope and love. I decided to move to where I am living now, a beautiful countryside on an island, exploring and learning about love and connection. Even though I no longer have sessions with Kwonyin, I find myself being gifted again and again by many of the realizations I was guided to through her questions and sharing.” - Yong Joo Lee
Kwonyin’s support allowed me to dive deep and release many emotional blockages that were lurking in my subconscious since childhood. The space that she holds for catharsis is something incredibly special. Working with Kwonyin has actually changed my life. I feel like a more competent human, like I am able to handle what arises for me in a way that is positive and healthy. I feel like I have a deeper understanding of myself since working with you. I am so grateful for the opportunity I’ve had to work with her.
I appreciate her, she is an incredible light in the world.” - Sam
“since CATHARSIS, my dream scenes have changed from night to daylight. I look at myself and feel like this is the person I’m supposed to be. As in the bathhouse scene from Spirited Away when the monster is in the tub, with the crazy stuff washing off all around, steamy and wonderful - sessions feel like that.”
- Gilda
“kwonyin is a true magician/moon archetype, combining the yin power of diving super deep into our dark uncharted waters and exploring our internal caverns with the yang energy of the magician, pulling from the heavens and the earth to create something totally new - these sessions each felt like a birth, and kwonyin was an amazing doula. moving forward, i feel empowered, curious, tender, and ecstatic about what i’ve learned and all the tools i have now that i didn’t before to uncover what’s ready to be seen every day of my life. i’m honored to have been a part of this journey with kwonyin and recommend it to basically everyone i know. <3” - ruby
“Kwonyin is a healing arts superstar. She creates a space where you feel OK to look at that stuff you’ve really been afraid to look at. In her space, you actually begin to feel curiosity about your deepest healing issues. You feel grounded and supported as you open the door with the skeletons inside. I mean, if you have to scream out loud, Kwonyin is the absolute best person to scream with! She has the incredible endurance, patience, swift insight, compassion, and grace to get you moving in the dark place. She asks the right questions that allow for gentle shifts in perspective. You know throughout the whole process that you’re being led back to yourself, back home, and that it’s really safe to go there. The gift of this kind of space holding is rare and Kwonyin has it in spades.” - grace
