The Holler
Home for the Restoration
I got the idea for this book – The Holler – a couple of years ago. Like many ideas that come for me to translate from Lovelight to English, its seed in my current Earth embodiment came much earlier. As with all seeds, it had a life unfolding before I even recognized it as a seed, but I do sense a starting point, for now, that’s also a thread weaving itself across time and space. It’s a word – Restoration. And a few weeks ago, as I was reading yet another inspiring post by Jane Evershed (you can read it here) that word became a spark that lit the fire to bring first words to The Holler. It’s a story about where I live as a multidimensional being in the multidimensional community of a hollow in eastern Tennessee, and how I came to know this place as my ‘home’ for the re-ascension now underway for planet Gaia and all life associated with her. Essentially, I’m going to tell a story of how I got here, and what I know so far about why this place, and why this planet.
A Path of Remembrance, ‘Restoration’, and Dreams That First Brought That Word to Light
By the fall of 1974 I was in my mid-twenties, had an undergraduate degree in Parks and Recreation Administration with a focus in environmental interpretation, was two years into a process I’d call ‘spiritual awakening’, and was sure that those two things somehow related to an unknown something I was born to do.
At that time I was also reading a new book called Angels and Man: Relationships and Responsibilities.1 In it was information received by Nada-Yolanda, in her function as primary communications channel for Mark-Age, from seven Archangels2 who have responsibilities related to creative and evolutionary process within our solar system. I can’t say that I really understood much of what I was reading back then, but at a certain point a deeper recognition began to ring through. I sensed that what I had in my hands might be a foundation for a cosmic Earth ecology, and a way to integrate my interests in science, nature, Gaia and consciousness through which I would find my heart’s calling.
Not long after that I had a series of dreams in which I saw myself back in school, this time pursuing a master’s degree in ‘advanced life science’. In each of the dreams, I was collaborating with other people to do ‘field work’ – most often in forested, mountainous areas with lakes or streams and complex communities of plants and animals – much like where I actually lived at the time, northwest of Boulder, Colorado, and where I live now, in the Cumberland Mountains. I understood clearly in each dream that the work we were doing together was about returning Earth’s whole planetary environment to its original state and function.
As my life moved forward, I reflected on these dreams many times. They felt like a compass, but not toward a particular place. More like a purpose. It’s only been within the past two years that remembrance and restoration began to resonate as the clearest tones linking my Soul’s path and calling to the collective re-Ascension process unfolding through Humanity, Earth and all life upon her. It’s only within the past few months that I’ve been called to reflect – with greater depth, discernment and clarity -- upon what’s being restored.
Primeval Earth, the first soul garden and the original celestial human template
As I’ve written and spoken about in previous posts, remembrances of an ancient Earth garden have been a primary source of inspiration for me in my evolving relationship with Gaia. An invitation to explore. To co-create. To evolve. What I did not anticipate is that Earth’s primeval garden might be much older, and point to a spiritual essence and evolution of Earth and Humanity beyond anything I had consciously heard of or remembered before my path took a radical turn in 2022.
In The Holler, I’ll write about some serious challenges along the way, including a few encounters with portals through which I could have physically left this life. Nevertheless, in ways that only Source, Soul and I AM Presence could have co-orchestrated, the circumstances, resources and clues to assure eventual recognition and remembrance have been there. From my place and time of birth, to the first word I ever spoke, through saying yes to many spontaneous changes of direction that felt scary but clearly came from HeartSpace, I’m here now.
I will also write in more detail about the ever-expanding circle of Beings with whom I exchange energy in the process of embodied living. Most important for the story of the Holler will be those such as plants, animals, trees, insects, earth, water, air and fire elements, devas and elementals and Gaia herself – all the ones I live in community with. The ones I touch or who touch me every day, be it physically, mentally emotionally or spiritually. But my life here has also been about expanding awareness and capacity to communicate with ancestors, guides, guardians, angels, sisters and brothers from other Star Nations, ascended masters, those who serve on councils supporting Gaia’s re-ascension process, and many more. Some are brothers and sisters embodied now on Earth – awakened, awakening or unawakened; those who identify as Indigenous or celestial humans or ancient ones or starseeds or lightworkers or wisdom-keepers or grid workers or frequency holders -- Souls consciously or unconsciously changing the field with every breath we take.
And here is where I’ll say again that many of you on Substack – poets, storytellers, artists, musicians, frequency holders, witnesses – on so many occasions have shared something that sparked conscious recognition of words, dreams, stories, images, forms whose possible meanings for me or the human collective had eluded me for decades. I take this as evidence that the whole of Humanity is remembering unity consciousness, how to live as one whole one in a Whole One. That’s why it feels so right to allow a longer story about my relationship to The Holler to unfold here now.
May the Restoration continue.
Within love, gratitude, and reciprocity for the co-creative community gathering on and around Earth for her and our collective re-ascension...I AM.

Cathie, the fact that you feel spiritually anchored in East Tennessee is so synchronistic for me!!! I'm currently in northern Michigan, but for the past few years I've been told things await me in East Tennessee, and that it will be my family's next destination.
