Supporting our Beloved, Kathleen Silson

There are some people whose presence quietly changes the course of our lives.

For more than three decades, Kathleen Silson has been that steady, compassionate presence for so many in our community. As a trusted healer, guide, and wise elder, she has walked alongside countless people through their most tender rites of passage — through illness, grief, transformation, new beginnings, and profound personal healing.

Kathleen has given her time, her skill, her listening heart, and her deep well of wisdom with generosity and humility. She has held space for others to mend, to grow, to remember who they are.

Now, Kathleen is undergoing treatment for breast cancer. The road ahead will require courage, strength, and rest. As she focuses on her recovery, she is likely to be unable to work for several months.

This is our opportunity to hold her as she has held so many of us.

We invite you to contribute whatever feels right and possible — a little or a lot. Every donation will help ease financial pressure so Kathleen can give her full energy to healing, without the added burden of worry.

All donations are welcomed and received with deep gratitude.

If Kathleen has ever touched your life, offered guidance in a time of need, or simply embodied the kind of presence that makes the world softer and kinder — this is a beautiful way to give back.

Let us surround her now with the same care, strength, and love she has so freely offered others.

With gratitude and aroha.
