....Kathleen Jenks, Ph. D.  received her doctorate in 1992 from the Religious Studies Department at the University of California, Santa Barbara.  She was trained in world religious and mythic traditions, including Greek, Near Eastern, Hindu, medieval European, and Native American traditions.

She is the author of a book on Jungian dream exploration, Journey of a Dream Animal (Julian Press, 1975), and of a haunting novel on the early Egyptian years of Miriam, Aaron and Moses, The River and the Stone (Dutton, 1977).

Her love of trees and their mythologies led to a new oracular approach, The Green World Oracle, planned for a forthcoming book with illustrated tarot-style cards.

Most recently (2005), she was the mythology/psychology/religion consultant for a groundbreaking video game using biofeedback, Journey to Wild Divine: the Wisdom Quest; she also wrote the game's Companion Guide (released in August 2006).

Retired from teaching as of 1 June 2003, she is a former core faculty member in the Mythological Studies Department of Pacifica Graduate Institute in Santa Barbara, California.  She is the creator of a huge, graphics-rich website designed for her mythology students but widely used by students, teachers, researchers, and many others around the world:  Myth*ing Links.

In addition to doing workshops on reincarnation, mythology, dreamwork, creative writing, and other topics, she is available for individual past-life sessions by telephone or one-on-one: she has been a past-life facilitator for over thirty years.
