Natural Awakenings Naples and Fort Myers

Who’s a Natural Awakenings Reader?: Meet Renee Bledsoe

Life’s mission: I support the raising of consciousness through true community. My mission is to bring forth awareness, education and programs that support the mass spiritual emergence that is taking place.

Work: Since 2008, I have been the lead minister and founder of the Church of Spiritual Light, an all-faith spiritual community in Fort Myers. As an intuitive soul coach and mystery teacher, I offer education and programs which support and advocate for integrative energy medicine and a more holistic approach to all levels of health and well-being. I help individuals discover and activate their personal power.

Proudest achievements: My two children and my magnum opus, Addiction Alchemy. For 10 years, I have been offering this project based on Native American medicine wheel teachings. I am grateful and proud of the Church of Spiritual Light community that emerged from this work.

Expectations for the future: The three books that I have written to promote healing, enlightenment and education are in production and will be released and distributed over the next two years.

I am also helping to develop a monthly Mind-Body-Spirit Expo and creating synergistic communities to raise the bar on human potential and assist people in connecting to their inner calling.

Local causes supported: Church of Spiritual Light’s People Shine Project (PSP). This southwest Florida community service program promotes and facilitates holistic recovery and leading-edge self-care practices through affordable classes, groups and workshops, as well as private consultations. We are proponents for integrative and complementary medicine and have formed a community alliance that allows us to offer more than 50 monthly classes at a cost of $5 to $10 each.

Favorite thing about Natural Awakenings: The unceasing support and coverage of information and events has helped to keep the Southwest Florida holistic community alive and well.

Most frequented healthy food restaurant: Ada’s Natural Market Green Leaf Café, in Fort Myers.

Favorite quote: “We shall not cease from exploration. And the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.”––T.S. Eliot

What are you doing to be the change you want to see in the world? Using my gifts as a spiritual guide, mentor, teacher and compassionate healer to assist others throughout their spiritual and soul’s emergence.
