Who I Am

Dorothy Walters

Dorothy Walters grew up loving the world of books and the language they contained. She took a PhD in English and American literature and spent her long professional life teaching university classes in both classical and contemporary literature in English. She helped to found one of the earlier women's studies programs in the U. S. and directed this program for many years. In 1981, at the age of 53, she experienced spontaneous Kundalini awakening, an event that transformed her life. spontaneous Kundalini awakening that unfolded over ten years. She experienced unimaginable bliss and ecstasy as well as intense pain and suffering that ultimately revealed a life path of profound unity with the Sacred. Walter's poetry emerges from that source, her poems arise as spontaneous outpourings from a heart seared by the Divine. She graciously gave Braided Way permission to publish any of her works. Dorothy taught and wrote until her death in 2023.
