Sarah’s personal story

Our personal stories are part of our individual and collective mythology. When told, they create empathy and connection. In this spirit, I want to share my story from my heart so that we may be more intimately connected.

As a young child, I had a secret inner realm that made much more sense to me than the world outside. Raised Catholic, I didn’t relate to the story of Christ suffering for our sins and the idea of enduring punishment for our “imperfections.” I turned to Mother Mary for comfort. She brought a song to my soul and a light to my life. I would go to our church and kneel before her statue, where she whispered words of unconditional love. 

As I entered into my teenage years, Mother Mary became less a part of my life until my early adolescence when I experienced the sudden death of my only brother, my niece, my boyfriend, and a dear friend. These experiences took me deep into the void of despair that set the stage for my spiritual journey.  

As a young woman, I left my spiritual pursuit behind for motherhood. As many women have experienced, I lost myself in that process, putting everyone else’s needs before my own. I had what many perceive to be the perfect life: charming husband, beautiful home, two wonderful children, on and on, but my life felt far from perfect; there was an ache in my soul and I knew I wanted more. I had lost my connection to the Divine and I had become completely disconnected from self. Working in the fitness field where the body was the prize, I focused on achieving the perfect body with the hope that it would bring me more love, acceptance and freedom.

I went so far as to get breast implants, which turned into a healing journey after the implants leaked silicone throughout my whole body. I had unwittingly initiated an assault on my body in an elusive search for happiness. For 10 years I took care of my mother with Alzheimer’s, which put the reality of aging and the decay of the mind/body front and center. My soul awoke to a pursuit greater than this mortal body.

The same year the implants leaked, I went to Hawaii on a soul journey. I had a powerful Kundalini awakening that changed my life as I knew it. With this new perception, I was faced with the lies I was living and the reality that my life didn’t match who I knew myself to be. In the next few years my marriage of 25 years dissolved and I let go of much of the material world where my happiness clearly did not lie. I entered into a time of renewal and reinvention as I came home to my true self.

In 2001 I  moved to Santa Barbara and began a new life that reflected my truest essence. I was reintroduced to the Great Mother and my path as a priestess began. I surrendered.  I began my path of sovereignty and began the inner marriage work which brought me into a place of integrated wholeness.

It has been 20 years since I devoted my life in service to the Goddess and the awakening of the Divine Feminine.  The Archetypal energies of the Divine Feminine have played such a pivotal role in my life and it is my deep desire and passion to connect others with the parts of themselves that are waiting to be embodied so that they may live in their fullest expression. 

The Goddess in me is alive and well.

I am here to support others in awakening and remembering that  play  is a way to Enlightenment,  Freedom, and Self Love.

To Ecstatically Awaken and Remember their true nature.

To Live their Mythic Life and make it a Masterpiece of Joy!

Laugh more…Love more… Dance more…. Play more!

Embracing all things equally for this is the way to live an Ecstatic Life!

Awake, Alive, and Aglow!

In deep devotion to the awakening of all,

Sarah Uma
