Kim Clarity, Ph.D.
I found my calling in life after many years of executive management in fine dining when I stumbled into Marianne Williamson’s “Course in Miracles” lectures in Santa Monica, Ca. in 1985. I then began a lifelong love affair with living spirituality.
I co-founded Spiritual Center for Positive Living in Cameron Park, CA, and was Senior Minister from 1999 to 2009. I then co-founded my second non-profit learning community, Clarity Academy of Spiritual Arts or C.A.S.A., with my beloved wife, Rev Karen Grace, and operated as senior minister from 2012 to 2015.
In 2015, due to some serious and chronic health issues, I entered into a much needed seclusion of self exploration and healing. A Course In Miracles says “Love brings everything unlike itself up to be healed.” What I learned in that year was that my childhood stories of disappointment, alcoholism, abandonment and abuse had literally been recreating themselves throughout my life as X-Lovers, lost friendships and chronic health issues.
The really hard realization was that I had been teaching what I truly believed was integrated spirituality without realizing how un-integrated my lifetime of trauma's, and unexpressed emotions were. I come from a value system that says “get over it and move on!” In other words, I was living my life pretending that nothing difficult, disappointing, painful or heartbreaking had ever happened. My awakening journey has been through Gene Keys and The Golden Path by Richard Rudd (www.genekeys.com).
As a Reverend Doctor of Spiritual Studies from Emerson Theological Institute, (www.emersoninstitute.edu) and a Master Spiritual Life Coach, I have had the honor of guiding countless individuals, families, non-profit organizations, businesses, and learning communities nationwide, to achieve personal transformation, and spiritual integration. For the last twenty years, I have been a keynote speaker for New Thought Churches, conferences, events and retreats, which led to the launching of “Seeking Clarity Seminars” in 2009. This life changing seminar series was designed to spiritually empower people to turn their lives into artistry, provide career opportunities for Ministers, Chaplains, Practitioners and Coaches, as well as an extremely successful fundraising partnership with many New Thought Churches and Centers.
Gene Keys, and the loving guidance of Teresa Collins, along with the Onedoorland (www.onedoorland.com) team have opened many doors of self exploration. I’m learning to live wholeheartedly! This is very different from simply affirming positive ideas and trying to talk myself into wholehearted living. I’ve learned to integrate all the painful emotions that I had simply overridden by spiritual bypassing, perfectionism, over achieving, workaholic, and being everyone else’s whatever ‘they’ needed. I had no idea what authentic meant because I had not integrated or healed all the inner pain. I simply denied it. Today I don’t take any medications; I am 40 plus pounds lighter and filled with vitality and inner joy! By embracing the idea of “Suffering Is Grace”, and diving deep into each painful conditioned behavior, I have transformed my cry for self love and self parenting into knowing and embracing my true authentic self. Most importantly, I don’t bypass my feelings anymore and I now honor my wonderful as well as my uncertain.
I have had a life-long love of music and the arts. Several years ago I recorded a duet album entitled “Sannyassi,” and “Meditations of Clarity” a 7 CD set. When I needed to create the music department at C.A.S.A., I was introduced to Dean Vidovich and Adam Roth who then became Clarity Academy’s music directors! When my wife Karen, and I, first met Dean & Adam, the love affair began. We called the band “Ripple Effect” at the time, and delved deep into music as medicine, sacred geometry, sound healing and vibrational frequency. C.A.S.A.’s weekly Sunday service was often packed because people loved feeling the healing through music and conversation, that co-created such a magical experience.
Being deeply inspired by Gene Keys and the music of life, ”Alkeme” was born. The word alchemy describes a magical process of transformation that turns seeds into flowers, embryo’s into babies, and shadows into gifts. “Alkeme” is a multi-genre band devoted to living whole hearted, and embracing the mystery in all aspects of life. Combining ritual, ceremony, sound healing, mantras, and musical influence from all cultures of the world, Alkeme broadcasts a sound that will sonically encompass the heart and brings music as medicine and compassionate communication to every event. The container of limitless possibilities opens for magic to create in itself, out of itself, and of itself. Alkeme performs with a revolving cast of dancers, musicians, teachers, and artists.
C.A.S.A continues to gather in Integrated Spirituality using Richard Rudd’s book titled Gene Keys-Unlocking the Higher Purpose Hidden In Your DNA, and his Golden Path series, along with Rosy Aronson's Wisdom Keepers, Michael Brown’s The Presence Process, Brené Brown’s work, A Course In Miracles, and many other non-duality learning paths. As a devotee and disciple of Paramahansa Yogananda, Karen and I also lead “Deep Dives” and “Ascended Living Retreats” at Ananda Village in Nevada City (www.ananda.org).
Since June 2015, Karen, and I have been diligently studying Gene Keys with “ Onedoorland”. In 2016 we facilitated a year long group "Golden Path" series in Fair Oaks, are now journeying with a group in Nevada City, and have a new group emerging in Placerville.
Currently, I am guiding families, couples and individuals, through the voyage of Gene Keys, to discover their eternal spark of genius that sets them apart from everyone else. As a member of the Gene Keys Ambassador Program and Volunteer Coordinator for the Gene Keys Society I am blessed to be part of this global synarchy.
