Kundalini Serpent Goddess for Borderland Dwellers

Kundalini Serpent Goddess: Rising from the Borderlands is the memoir of a former college professor of Sociology who has transformed into a Kundalini Yoga Teacher. The narrative chronicles her struggle in overcoming chronic pain and fibromyalgia, a disease that affects more than 10 million people in the United States, ninety percent of whom are women.

Originally from Buenos Aires, Argentina, the author, Karin, bridges many cultures in her quest for a sense of home after having lived in New York City, the East Coast, Dominican Republic, California, and Puerto Rico. Without losing her feminine essence and connection to Spirit, her narrative takes the reader deep into the chronicles of Tupi-Guarani gaucho life, immigrant life in the Borderlands, Indigenous and Yoruba Goddess archetypes, and shamanic journeys.

Dealing with illness, rejection, patriarchy, and neo-colonialism, Karin triumphs in embracing her own Shakti power and feminine spirituality, and in facing the shadow of her mixed background, liberating her family's ancestral trauma rooted in patriarchy, oppression, and colonization. Her narrative is an example of otherworldly ecofeminism, debunking our ideas about patriarchal Christianity, Western Medicine, and the role of women in society, offering a new vision for Mother Earth that reflects back our global life transition into the new paradigm of the Aquarian Age.

Since childhood, Karin was connected to a Serpent Goddess that grew out of her imagination. As an adult woman navigating her own demons, the Serpent demands Karin tells her truth in order to heal. Together, they unraveled family secrets and forge new relationships with other Latina immigrant women that become a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Karin becomes the heroine of her inner and outer worlds, unveiling white privilege in Latin American families, the hardships of immigrant life in the United States, and the denial of Womb Medicine across female lineages, finding her way back to the one religion that united the world in a spirituality that celebrated Creation.

After many challenges, she's ready to embrace the wisdom and knowledge readily available to all yogis and women since ancient times, unearthing women's spiritual connection to Earth and the unique feminine understanding of the mysteries of life and death for humanity's healing and transformation.

The memoir has received praise from various professionals, including a bodyworker, yoga teacher, and wellness coach, who describe it as "True and honest," "Astonishing and Awakening," and an "epic journey turning pain into power." They commend Karin's ability to beautifully intertwine photographs, different voices through time, and several places and cultures, creating a unique and valuable story that inspires and moves the reader.
