Be gentle with yourself when approaching this episode. For nearly twenty years, Rev. Kat Katsanis-Semel, M.A. has offered workshops and sessions to those who seek greater mental and spiritual wellbeing. Rev. Kat provides wellness-oriented offerings that share concrete skills with communities, families and individuals. She’s served both as an independent consultant and via organizations, such as: Mental Health America of San Diego County, Community Health Improvement Partners, The Chopra Center, On Point Acupuncture and Wellness, Deaf Community Services, Omega Institute for Holistic Studies, Fraternity House, Inc., World Yoga Center NYC, Community Resources and Self-Help (CRASH), Serving Seniors, Sarah Lawrence College and NYU.

Kat has shared mental wellness techniques in the following places of worship, within the County of San Diego: St. Andrew’s by-the-Sea Episcopal Church, St. Spyridon Greek Orthodox Church, Metropolitan Community Church, St. Thomas More Catholic Church and St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church. Some of the healthy coping mechanisms that she offers are: Hatha Yoga for physical resiliency, Yoga Nidra for nervous system restoration and deep relaxation, Pranayama (Breathing Exercises) for stress relief and emotional balance, and Mindfulness Meditation for mental clarity.

Note: This episode was recorded on March 13, 2020, just as the coronavirus began to impact our daily lives. While we did not discuss any emotional concerns over this growing pandemic, the issue of how the Enneagram helps us discover the true self appears more vital in today's dire circumstance. --- There is such an emotional relief when we feel as if our authentic self is fully recognized. For some, it's about finding a place of peace. For others it's about discovering strengths and limitations. Either way, we learn to interpret the world and our role in it. In today's episode, The Rev. Burl Salmon, director of pastoral care and outreach at Bethesda-by-the-Sea Episcopal Church in Palm Beach, Florida, reminds us that the goal of the Enneagram is to grow into The True Self.
