A JOURNEY FROM FEAR TO SELF DISCOVERY
It all began with a prophetic coca leaf reading in the high Andes of Peru. When Don Andreas, a Q'ero shaman, saw a book in the leaves and urged her to write it, Chrappa embarked on a quest to awaken the Divine Feminine within herself and share ancient wisdom with the world.
Set against the backdrop of New York City, the mystical landscapes of Peru, and the high deserts of New Mexico, this memoir chronicles Chrappa's experiences with shamanic teachings, the power of the Apus (mountain gods), and her own life challenges. Karen's honest and often raw narrative resonates with anyone who has ever felt trapped by their own fears or societal expectations.
As part of a group of women seeking to change the customs, rules, and power structures of everyday America, Chrappa learns to trust her intuition and embrace the unknown. Through sharing, ceremony, and personal growth, she discovers that enlightenment isn't a solitary journey to the mountaintop, but a shared human experience. With grace and vulnerability, Chrappa shows us how moving beyond fear can open the door to a life of purpose, connection, and profound inner peace.
