How to Shatter Illusions to Reclaim Your Power with Marti Keefer

PART 1: THE HEALING

In this episode of A Kind of Meadow, Rhiannon is joined by Marti Keefer, a mother, model, actress, and acting/life coach. They navigate a healing journey to a Kind of Wonderland, addressing the themes of grief, releasing emotional armor, balancing external advice with inner wisdom, defining your identity on your own terms, and reclaiming personal power.


What Happens in the Session:

  • The Overnight Container: A healing space in outer space, visualized as a beautiful piece of glass art with a lush tropical jungle and crystal-clear pool where Marti spends the evening rushing down the spiral of Shadow work until she’s too exhausted to resist help from her angels anymore.

  • Confronting Toxic People: A man who initially causes harm by poking Marti’s belly gets a kick out of knocking her down to size. It is only after he realizes he cannot hurt Marti anymore that he leaves.

  • Unlocking the Heart Portal: Marti collects scattered memories into a single box—moments in time that had been hidden around the world to protect them from being smashed. Collecting these moments becomes the key to unlock her heart portal and reintegrate these memories.

  • Releasing Emotional Armor: The session helps Marti release protective layers, using tcking clock of illness as a catalyst for shedding these defenses.

  • The Black Widow: A massive Black Widow spider is removed from Marti’s solar plexus, symbolizing the transformation of exaggerated fears into a young version of herself.

  • The Smoking Caterpillar: This figure challenges Marti to define her identity, prompting her to actively shape who she wants to be.


The healing session is like stepping into a real-life “Alice in Wonderland” adventure! Both Marti and Alice embark on incredible journeys of self-discovery, navigating through strange and unpredictable worlds. These experiences teach them to integrate scattered parts of themselves, achieving a beautiful sense of wholeness and continuity.


Both stories emphasize letting go of illusions and embracing vulnerability. Alice learns to see through Wonderland’s distorted realities to find her way home, while Marti realizes that the man who tries to harm her can only smash his own poppies, never hers. This insight helps her release emotional armor and connect with her true self. Guided by unconventional characters, both Alice and Marti redefine their identities, highlighting the universal journey of transformation and self-discovery. It’s all about introspection, courage, and the power of self-definition in an ever-changing world.
