“I spent six years building a career as a venture capital attorney. I thought this glamorous career would make me happy; it didn't. I arrived at Kerena's retreat Walking an Authentic Path at Esalen Institute feeling extremely defeated and confused regarding my expectations of life; that is, that a line of work, more money, or more powerful friends would make me happy.

Kerena provided guidance and an environment that allowed me to see past these motivations and to begin asking what-- in reality-- made me happy. This was her gift to me: encouragement, support, and the realization that the answers to life's most important questions are under the surface  when I stop and listen.”
