Kim Clarity, PhD.S.S.
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 1998 to 2007. I 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 reached a new low where 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 in my present life as X-Lovers, lost friendships, Hep C, Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, repetitive pneumonia, edema, IBS, hypo thyroid, migraines, crushed disks in my back, addicted to prescription pain relievers, over weight and over worked. In addition, I had lost my business, was on the brink of being homeless and was taking 16 different prescribed medications.
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 difficult 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 was through Gene Keys and The Golden Path by Richard Rudd (www.genekeys.com).
The Gene Keys, and the loving guidance of Teresa Collins, along with the Onedoorland (www.onedoorland.com) tribe 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 in the past by distracting, perfectionism, over achieving, workaholic, addiction, 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. I learned that “Suffering Is Grace” and deep in each painful conditioned behavior, was a cry for self love and self parenting. Today I don’t take any medications; I am 30 plus pounds lighter and filled with vitality and inner joy! Most importantly, I don’t bypass my feelings anymore and I now honor my wonderful as well as my uncertain.
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 assisting countless individuals, families, non-profit organizations, businesses, and learning communities nationwide, to achieve personal transformation, and spiritual integration that have guided people to lead happier, healthier more spiritually congruent lives.
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. Today we continue to fill up our classes 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 Michael Brown’s The Presence Process, Brené Brown’s work, and A Course In Miracles, and many other non-duality learning paths. As a devotee and disciple of Paramahansa Yogananda, I also lead “Deep Dives” and “Ascended Living Retreats” at Ananda Village in Nevada City (www.ananda.org).
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 “Pheye” Vidovich and Adam Roth who then became Clarity Academy’s music directors! When Rev Karen and I first met Pheye & Adam, the love affair began. We called the band “Ripple Effect” at the time, and delved deep into music as medicine, sacred geometry and vibrational frequency. C.A.S.A.’s weekly Sunday service was often packed because people loved the feeling and the healing, with music and conversation, that co-created such a magical experience.
In 2014, Adam went on to compete and do very well on American Idol and left C.A.S.A. to perform in China. He returned to the U.S. in 2015, where he reemerged with his band called Broken Iris and is performing all over the world. When he’s in town, Adam joins us in the Gene Keys stream. Pheye created his very successful rock band called “Sages”. He is deep in the Gene Keys voyage, while making beautiful sacred music as medicine and pursuing the path of the shaman.
Since June 2015, Pheye, Karen, and I have been studying Gene Keys with “Onedoorland” and are now facilitating the “Sacramento Gene Keys Tribe” in Fair Oaks. 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 feeling magic 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.
