Reclaiming the Sensual

Kay's passion for life is perfectly expressed through her writing of Sacred Link. As Kay journeys with the Hetakas, her Peruvian Shaman grandparents, she is trained to observe every nuance of her senses, which she intimately shares without judgment. She captured my attention by the way her writing mirrors life, by the way her words reflect multiple levels of meaning. I have returned to the pages of this book many times and received different messages and deeper meaning with each re-read. Kay is an amazing storyteller--she is the wise woman who sits by the fire. As both a woman and a seeker of knowledge, I can honestly say that this book has taught me the importance of reclaiming the sensual in all our lives. I'm talking about an awareness or a recognition of something, not the lewd and unfavorable enjoyments indoctrinated by our culture. Kay teaches us to pay attention to what we experience through our faculties because it is in the smallest of details that we find meaning, purpose, and guidance. I look forward to many re-interpretations. Pamela Tiller-Ervin

Evocative and controversial with brush strokes of the extraordinary

An adventure into what remains hidden and unspoken in our culture, Kay Whitaker steps way beyond the ordinary to invite us into forgotten dimensions of who we are as People of the Earth. Exploring our innate links to life itself, Sacred Link is a sweeping continuation of the story of her apprenticeship with Domano and Chea Hetaka, elders from Peru, who sought her out to pass on the ancient shamanic knowledge of Ka Ta See, or living in balance from the heart. I have read this book many times since it was in manuscript form, and I am always amazed how much more I get out of it each time I pick it up. Kay knows how to tell a story and make it jump off the pages as if the events were happening right in front of you. Her story is a gripping one and it touches the heart and all the cells of the body. There is great authenticity of hope, love, healing, and scope in her words. If you want to awaken the pleasures and vastness of life, Sacred Link will not let you down.
