Karen offers individual sessions and workshops.
Individual Sessions
There are many paths that lead to becoming a healthy, conscious, aware human being: to become whole, to become realized. And, at times, we often need support for healing physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually – to bring balance and harmony into our lives. My life’s work is devoted to offering these professional services. It is an honor and privilege for me to hold space during these times.
Each person’s life-journey is unique. It is an intricate weave based on their formative history, life experience, social conditioning, personal goals/values and spiritual orientation.
At times, one may require more in-depth work i.e. when exploring psychological, and emotional issues. At other times, the need may be for personal or professional guidance during everyday challenges such as communication issues, fulfilling goals, decision-making, and achieving situational clarity.
Individual one-on-one sessions will include each of these approaches as appropriate.
Workshops
Currently Available Workshops
The Spectrum of Being: An Exploration of Our Essential Nature
with Karen Malik, MA, and Byron Metcalf, Ph.D.
The underlying foundation of humanity—and our personalities—is a life-force that comes from beyond our understanding. Yet, this life-force is a manifestation of our Essential Nature, and thus can be known by us. There is a Spectrum of Being from which we come; it is who we really are, thus our birthright. As we embark on the journey of ascent to explore this Spectrum, we transcend from the duality of physical-matter-reality into the non-dual and subtle realms of the Self. Journeying this way opens doorways to Our Essential Nature, allowing us to receive the gifts of our true Self. And, as we integrate these gifts our awareness expands and our lives become the expression of our highest unfoldment, bringing heaven down to earth.
In addition to an experiential exploration of the Spectrum of Being model, the workshop includes:
- Inner-journeywork utilizing music and sound technologies
- Meditation and expanded states of awareness
- Group work and integrative processing

with Byron Metcalf, Ph.D. and Karen Malik, MA.
Developed by Byron Metcalf, the program is a unique and practical integration of shamanic practice, transpersonal psychology, ancient wisdom teachings, and various contemporary methods of spiritual growth and personal transformation. This highly experiential retreat is specifically oriented toward creating the capacity to navigate these challenging times and complex world in a soul-based and heart-centered manner.
During this workshop we will use a combination of music and sound, meditation, personal intention, ritual, HoloShamanic Journey work, and integrative processing to explore and experience the path of authentic power, purpose and presence.
