Slater is the second in the series of her spiritual poetry or “vision quest poetry” to be published. The poetry continues to chronicle the inner journey of self-discovery and the Divine, awakening us to our own Truth as we travel the path, the personal journey, and awaken from the illusory separation of self and Divinity.

When we cast blame and self-judgment aside, we transform, heal, and reawaken from “the mythos” of separation and become One.
