Ms. Shannon attended Golden West College and the University of California, Irvine, concentrating on comparative cultures, including Indigenous traditions of Mexico. The author studied under Andreas Segura Granados in Mexico City and received an M.A. in Counseling from Northern Arizona University.Holding several counseling licenses, Kate worked many years in private practice and public mental health in both Arizona and California. She found her decade of work with the military in various states and countries prior to her retirement most satisfying. Among other writings, she published articles on the dangers of methadone for pain management. Kate attended the C.G. Jung Institute of Los Angeles and studied philosophical counseling in the Noetic Society with Dr. Pierre Grimes, as well as a summer with Dr. Herbert Otto at The Health Optimizing Institute, San Diego State.In a 1977 letter of recommendation from Dr. Grimes, he describes the author: "Kate studied Plato and learned to dialogue, studied Zen and practiced it with Zen Masters, went into psychology and sought analysts with whom she could work. This is her distinctive mark: she accepts mature challenges and seeks to integrate them into herself through her personal experience and dedication. While engaging in these pursuits, she raised her children and, I might say, she didn't let college interfere with her education and development."The author continues her exploration of the human condition.view less
