BJ Appelgren

BJ Appelgren has followed an inspired path. During forty years, she has been artist, teacher, potter, counselor, director of a non-profit agency advocating for people with disabilities, student of hypnosis and dreaming, and writer of an alternative health care newsletter. Now, she has come full circle, re-discovering art as revelation in the form of writing.

She was editor of Healing Arts Report, a national newsletter about the new health paradigm and is author of The Transparent Feather, a memoir detailing the relationship with her writing mentor, Berry Morgan, who wrote for The New Yorker (1966 - 88). The unanticipated friendship caused Appelgren to re-examine her baffling perceptions regarding death and the mystery of after-life.

Educated originally as a sculptor and art educator, she became intrigued by the psychological and spiritual aspects of creativity. Her experiences led to a growing awareness of soul memories, dream techniques, visualization, meditation, shamanic practice, and energy healing.
