About the host
Hosted by Kathy Carpenter
My bio and a little about my place on the journey of life.
Hosting Families and Friends in my Home is a Labor of Love.
Native Chicagoan, Kathy is the dynamic founder and CEO of HR Pilots, Ltd., an international recruiting consultancy. An entrepreneur from a young age, Kathy seemed destined to express her wisdom through a keen sense of resourcefulness that draws people together for higher purposes. While married and raising two children, she built her multi-million dollar company with a unique blend of competent insight and flexible unity.
The death of a close friend stirred questions within her that material prosperity could not fathom. Life's big questions - Who am I? Where did I come from? Why am I here? What's my purpose? - challenged her to learn new ways of thinking and feeling about life. Her yearning to know the True Self led her to study at the School of Metaphysics.
Kathy practiced applied metaphysics from 2011 to 2015. She left school to care for her elderly father in her home and carried on in her new-found awareness of Mind in real life application on her own.
When Covid came to the U.S., an inner mastery of uncertainty began to surface. This was underscored through the passing of her father. Kathy intuitively knew her Life's work was about to take on new dimensions. To meet these defining moments, she knew who she wanted as her mentor and advisor – Barbara Gale Condron. With Barbara's guidance, her True Self began to emerge through inward discipline in dreamwork, meditation, kundalini yoga, breath work, mirror resonance, visualization and creative expression.
Always striving, Kathy began a vision quest traveling 25,000 miles from coast to coast. This True Self Journey included a 9-Day Private Retreat with Scott and Sydney Hilburn at their home retreat center in Austin, Texas. This sparked her desire to collaborate with them and the Amrit Yoga Collective, to produce The Return to Spirit Retreat for personal growth & well-being.
