With Great Purpose: A Space of Healing, Truth & Transformation
I’m Keri Kenney (she/her/hers)—a trauma-informed teacher, writer, and practitioner of yoga and meditation, guided by a deep commitment to social justice, personal healing, and collective liberation. My mission is to help us all return to alignment, authenticity, and purpose through the transformative power of the heart, spirit, and body.
This work has always been about healing—but now, it is also about building. Building a space for deep conversations, for courageous connection, for the kind of reflection that creates lasting change. What began as my personal healing journey has become a calling to create a sanctuary for all of us—one where we can process, integrate, and move forward with clarity and care.
Here, you’ll find:
Reflections & Writings on healing, grief, transformation, and the intersection of spirituality and social justice.
Practices & Teachings rooted in yoga, meditation, and trauma resilience to help you reconnect with yourself.
Conversations & Community—a place for dialogue, questions, and the radical work of feeling, growing, and imagining new ways of being.
This space is more than just a newsletter. It is an invitation. To pause, reflect, process, and engage in the inner and outer work of healing. To honor both the personal and the collective. To be in community with those who dare to lead with love.
A Little About Me
I am here because I know that pain can become purpose, that trauma can be transmuted into transformation, and that healing is possible—even after the most unimaginable loss. I lost both my parents in 2013, and the pain from their passing—homicide and suicide by cop—set me on a path of deep healing. It’s a path I walk still, one that honors both the struggle and the resilience of the human spirit.
I know that the trauma we experience as individuals is rarely just singular to us. It is part of a larger, collective story—a story of healing, of breaking down systems of harm, and of choosing to live differently. I offer my lived experience and my education as a testament to what is possible when we honor our healing and show up with authenticity and love.
I believe in the power of the human spirit, and I am here to share what has saved my life—nature, meditation, movement, yoga, community, and conversation. These practices have given me life, and I want to share them with you so that we can heal together.
