Dee Keshner
From the Celtic Ogams, Darellea "Darrell Lee" can mean flame dancing upon the deep water. From an African tradition, she belongs to the fire element "clan", which has the qualities of igniting and inspiring others and a strong tie to the ancestors. She also often is simply called by her nick name, Dee. Darellea's background includes a BA and MA in Psychology with A School Psychology Credential. She worked for nearly 28 years in the public school system to have a positive impact on the education of children - one of her passions. Over twenty years ago she also became licensed as a Marriage Family Therapist. She has worked in this career part time ever since, starting with hypnotherapy and expanding into energy psychology. Mind, body, spirit have always been a part of her practice. Darellea has been involved in Nine Gates since 1989. She staffed for many years. She has studied and practiced esoteric aspects of many spiritual traditions (i.e. Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, Native American and African), but would define herself as a Sufi. Also she is an accomplished Reiki Master. She describes her life as process of ever deepening and simplifying her self understanding. This draws her ever closer to her true Essence and All That Is. Her purpose in life beside her own journey is to share what she has learned with others, thus helping to ignite the flame of their Essence.
