So you think you want to astral travel or lucid dream? Fancy yourself a spirit walker? Be careful what you wish for. Katherine Gillette shares what it's REALLY like. Katherine Gillette's bio: I have been and astral traveler and psychic for 30 years. High strangeness began when I was 12 yrs. Old. I have had many encounters with what people consider paranormal and learned to manage these encounters through trial and error over the course of my whole life. The general skepticism and disregard society had for what I was going through left me largely unsupported and hiding my journey for most of my life. It is my hope that by sharing what I went through and offering what advice I can I may be able to reach and uplift others who experience similar things.  Connect with Katherine Gillette here: https://youtube.com/@katgillett0229?si=8D1kxGGFIx5ALFix https://youtube.com/@unravelingtheunexplained-mi3uj?si=ryU3fJF2OKQrsQbM ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Your host: Laura Giles is an animist licensed clinical social worker who specializes in healing trauma.
