Testimonials

“I am really enjoying this podcast as I need to focus on these topics right now….it’s helping me think and reflect. It’s professional and it flows very nicely and you both sound educated and purposeful.”

—Debra S.

“It’s Capricorn Full Moon 🌕 and so when Shelley Durga Karpaty suggested a card reading, I couldn’t pass it up!

Shelley’s reading spoke to me so deeply for where I am currently and the question I offered to the universe for guidance. Her approach was gentle, loving, and highly intuitive - considering all facets of me, the question, how the cards reveal themselves and what they contain in the image, traditional meanings, and contextual importance. The guidance I received from Shelley's reading has been reinforced a few times since. I can’t wait for the next one!” ✨

—Sarah C.

“Shelley is made to be a meditation teacher! I never grasped the context of being “One” with the Universe until I started meditation with her.”

—Nancy A.

“Taking time to meditate with Shelley helped me to ‘let go’ of some of my worries and more accepting of reality. She is a truly gifted guide.”

—Debbie S.
