About Jill Loree

Jill Loree grew up in northern Wisconsin with parents who embraced their Norwegian, Swedish and German heritage. Foods like lutefisk, lefse and krumkaka were prepared every Christmas. And of course there was plenty of beer, bratwurst and cheese all year round. She would go on to throw pizzas and bartend while attending college at the University of Wisconsin, and then moved into a career in technical sales and marketing. She would settle in Atlanta in 1989 and discover that the sweet spot of her career would be in marketing communications. A true Gemini, she has a degree in chemistry and a flair for writing. One of Jill’s greatest passions in life has been her spiritual path. Raised in the Lutheran faith, she became a more deeply spiritual person in the rooms of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) starting in 1989. In 1997, she was introduced to the wisdom of the Pathwork Guide, which she describes as “having walked through the doorway of a fourth step and found the whole library.” In 2007, she completed four years of training to become a Pathwork Helper, and stepped fully into her Helpership in 2011. In addition to offering individual and group sessions, she has been a teacher in the Transformation Program offered by Mid-Atlantic Pathwork. She also led marketing activities for Sevenoaks Retreat Center in Madison, Virginia and served on their Board of Trustees. In 2012, Jill completed four years of kabbalah training and became certified for hands-on healing using the energies embodied in the tree of life. She began dedicating her life to writing and teaching about personal self-development in 2014. Today, Jill is the proud mom of two adult children, Charlie and Jackson, and is delighted to be married to Scott Wisler. She’s had more than one last name along the way and now happily uses her middle name as her last. It’s pronounced loh-REE. In 2022, Scott joined her full time in their mission to spread the teachings of the Pathwork Guide far and wide.

Where do we get stuck?

We each must do whatever developmental work is right for us, without skipping steps. But whichever stage we’re in, if we resist the forward movement, we’re going to get stuck. Consider, also, that we all roll up into a group of people who are at a certain level of development. And what’s right for any given group at any given time will become obsolete—even destructive—at a later point in time…The state emerging now is about working together as groups. This means our focus needs to shift from the individual to the whole.

How did we get so lost?

This spiritual path works from the outside in. It must. Because the outer layers of our psyche are what we have direct access to. For a moment, though, let’s look at this from the other end of the telescope. In other words, let’s look at how we’ve ended up fighting between ourselves, against ourselves and within ourselves. How did we get so lost?

Do we have to obey spiritual laws?

One could say that God is who created spiritual laws. But it would be more correct to say God is spiritual laws. They are kind and loving, letting us choose whether to follow them. More aptly, we get to choose how much pain we want to tolerate.
