Karin Lucia Gisler, the visionary behind Primal Wisdom, brings a wealth of expertise as a seasoned youth mentor and program facilitator. With a passion for empowering young minds, teenagers, and parents, Karin has dedicated years to leading transformative circles and initiatives.
Her journey into mentorship was fortified by dedicated training under Katharine Krueger, founder of Journey of Young Women (JOYW), renowned for its holistic approach to adolescent development. Karin's tenure as a senior instructor at JOYW spanned over five impactful years, honing her ability to guide young individuals on their path to self-discovery and empowerment.
Karin's credentials include a Diploma in Youth Work, and she is currently pursuing advanced studies in Family Counselling, further enriching her ability to support both youths and their parents.
Additionally, she is a graduate of the School of Shamanic Womancraft, where she immersed herself in a year-long exploration of Earth-centered spirituality and the Divine Feminine, fostering a profound connection to nature and holistic healing.
Karin is a wife and the mother of two beautiful children, 11 and 15 years old.
She was born and raised in Switzerland but has been a great world-traveler for the past 30 years. Her travels have stimulated her desire to learn about different cultures, customs and how people relate with each other. Eager to learn about different religious beliefs, hear wisdom of ancient traditions, she has sat in ceremony with people who are strongly rooted in their beliefs and traditions. Karin had the privilege to meet and live with very interesting people during this journey.
During the past 25 years, Karin has sat in many Women's Circles around the world and experienced the importance of being supported, held and heard by other women. After completing her Journey of Young Women (JOYW) training with Katharine Krueger, she became aware of how important it is for girls to experience this support as well. She feels called to share what she has learned with her community (and beyond), especially with the girls who are coming of age and with their parents. In her programs, she is weaving together what she has learned traveling around the world, the wisdom she has gained on her Four Season Journey with Jane Hardwicke Collings of the School of Shamanic Womancraft, the information she has received in her Journey of Young Women mentor training, and what she has learned as a Youth Worker.
Karin is also a Traditional Thai Massage practitioner and teacher, a qualified ABFE practitioner (Australian Bush Flower Essence), holds a diploma as a ‘Drogist’ (medical education in Switzerland on chemical and natural drugs) and has studied Marketing, Acupuncture, Reiki, Foot Reflexology, Yoga, Meditation as well as other healing modalities.
"Imagine the ripple effect of change young women can create in our communities if they have learned how to be daring, confident, empowered and most importantly be true to themselves!"
