Today we’d like to introduce you to Katherin Lowenthal

Hi Katherin, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?

It is funny because I started looking for my sacred purpose, when I was going through a crisis which made me think desperately about myself. I moved to Cyprus with a huge dessire to build my self confidence and to know who I really was.

While I was taking Greek lessons, the final test was to make a video explaining in Greek a food recipe. I enjoyed it so much; the production, the stage, the script, everything excited me. I finished the video and a week later I opened one Instagram account and my YouTube channel under the name of “Neptune Time”, the first name of my project. This is how I started.

The next step was, “-mmm, what I will speak about?-” so I started to be myself there, speaking about personal growth, my path, my maternity jorney, healthy recipes, some astrology which I self taugh and also I was sharing some quotes which make me reflect profundly about life, happiness, trauma, philosophy and others matters in life.

I felt a rebirth at this moment, as if the word was there for me and I just needed to take action. I remember feeling open to diving into myself and my shadow with an open heart, with the will to work on me, being brave.

2019 was a transition year, I was knowing myself as a mother, saying goodbye to the puerperium after 2 years of being only “Mother”, after strong pain and systematic inflammation I started a completely diferent lifestyle and embraced all the passion that began to emerge with my professional path.

Suddenly all the pieces took place and the path started to be clear, by concidence I interviewed the one who would later be my astrology teacher and I fell in love with her vision and philosophy. With her, I opened the memory of the sacred feminine and also remembered my soul gifts.

After 2019 I continuously opened doors, windows, diving a profound transformation, and most importantly I opened my eyes to true gratitude and joy.

I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?

I think always the road is smooth, what makes it rough is our incapacity to be humble and to listen to our heart instead our mind-Ego.

I wil explain myself with an small story which happened last month. Before this summer I was reflecting about my professional life, there was something who made me feel unconfortable inside, but it wouldn´t make sense in my mind. So I let the feeling be, trusting that at some point I would see clear.

What I felt from January this year was like “something big is going to happen and it will represent a shift” but I have no clue about what or when. If I learned something since 2019 was BEING PATIENT. Many times I brough it to therapy, meditation, my yoga practices, … but the feeling stayed there, saying the same “something big is going to happen and it will represent a shift”.

When I came back from a long vacation with my family, I caught up with the Master’s degree I was doing in Transpersonal Psychotherapy, which I believed was my path, and doing deep shadow work I felt abandoned and attacked by my teacher/therapist, and one of my colleages in a moment of deep vulnerability. So, without support from the institution, I decided to call my support network (my tribe) and do my best to integrate the situation.

I´m still integrating what happened and all the internal doors that opened, but during the first weeks I dove from anger to sadness, from victimhood to responsiblity, from revenge to compassion, and all was possible because of the unconditional love of my true tribe.

I saw it in perspective, I wove the threads, listened to all those emerging emotions and traumas that were showing off, and at the end I realized that the feeling started to have sense: “Something big is going to happen and it will represent a shift”.

I should cross almost 2 years of transpersonal initiation, the fact of an ending, and the experience of being alone, also the confirmation that It was not my place.

Why on this unpleasant way? Because I was blind to see the truth, my mind saw the red flags time ago but the breaking point of the big plan and expectation was so high that I needed a real shock to take a decision.

Smooth road: see the flags and take care of the feeling ending this path. Rough road: Wait until the road breaks abruptly.

One of the big lessons was that through the experience I doubted of one of my gifts: true listening and compassion, then I stood on my feet and realized how many times I gave my power and my self-belief to others, especially to the Authority, in exchange of validation and acceptance. This time was amazing, because I looked at myself and found the answer in the language of my body using yoga as my sacred tool.

Even though I was every day feeling everything in a strong way, I decided to trust in the process and hold the disconfort the time needed. I know at some point I will return back to quietness.

The second huge lesson was to embrace the fact of having enough tools to cross difficult situations withouth crutches, being fine with asking for help and trust in the people who love me to guard the space while I dive into myself.

The third and most important was to release any control over the future, open the heart to the path, and follow the signals without attachment because every stop in the road is part of the road.

At the end we decided to make the road smooth or rough, and we are here to learn how to make it every year smoother.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?

I´m an astrologer and work with the native medicine of the Lakota tribe, the medicine wheel. I created my method to hold sacred spaces where people feel safe, and cross rites of passage finding their role in the community. I run retreats and special workshops in Florida, United States, Cyprus, and Spain

Where do you see things going in the next 5-10 years?

With Saturn in pisces until 2025, I see a collective shift into the holistic sector, including psychotherapy and psycology practices. We open our eyes to the responsibility of our wellness, self-care, and future.

Taking responsibility means, stopping idealizing somebody outside and looking inside to see the inner path. Many masks are falling apart to recover our inner authority and stop projecting it outside.

The tribe is going to have a strong space into the community, but at the same time we are learning how to build a system where everybody feels welcome and attached to a rule system, and also with inner work more and more people will wake up and recognize the inner medicine and they will find in the tribe the correct space to offer her/his medicine in purpose.

I see how we are opening our soul memory to the sacred way of life of the Neolithic period, and also we are feeling the shadow of 3,000 years of violence and selfishness. We are deciding every day which part to feed and in consequence the collective unconscious is feeding from us.

We are the generation of the transition period, who should decide what to feed and make strong in the collective unconscious, who in the end builds culture. Is a big responsibility, that is why the inner path is being a waking call for us.

The shift is to learn how to stay awake in a power system that creates temptations to sleep you into a disconnection and false truth.
