An ocean-like journey of hope, transformation and alchemy. 

Catalina Alexandra's debut poetry collection, The Call to Awaken is a richly illustrated, ocean-like journey of hope, transformation and alchemy. Strong currents of self and spirit run from the poems into the reader’s hearts, riding waves of self-discovery and the realization of one’s inherent wholeness. We all have a voice inside us just waiting to answer the call, and Catalina shows us the strength and beauty of her sacred message. 

WHAT READERS ARE SAYING...

"In a world drowning in complexity, these transmissions cut through the noise with the clarity of pure awareness itself. This collection doesn't just speak to the soul-it awakens the remembering that has been waiting within you all along. A profound treasure that reveals itself anew with each reading, inviting you into the sacred dance of being and becoming." — Tiffany Carole, International Teacher, Author & Soul Guide 

'A uniquely approachable book that strikes a rare balance between whimsy and depth. Whether you read it straight through or flip to a random page, it has a way of delivering potent, universally resonant insights exactly when you need them. What starts as an easy, almost playful read quickly reveals layers of timeless wisdom that continue to unfold long after you've closed the cover. I've found myself returning to it again and again—each time uncovering something new, something I hadn’t seen before. It’s not just a book; it’s a companion for reflection, change, and growth—for those willing to slow down, ask the right questions, and truly listen.' -- Joshua L.

'The Call to Awaken is a sacred transmission. Catalina writes with the fluid grace of a dancer and the soul-depth of a healer. Each poem arrives like a ceremonial wave that gently pulls you inward and guides you back to the remembrance of the wholeness that has always been within you.

Catalina’s lineage as a Daoist priest and medicine woman pulses through every page, yet her invitation is tender and accessible. It’s as if she’s saying, “You, too, carry the medicine. Let these words remind you.”

And that’s the true gift of this book: Catalina never imposes her voice; rather, she encourages you to hear your own more clearly. Like a trusted guide, she leads you home to yourself.

I also adore the companion anointing oil she handcrafts. It makes for a beautiful ritual to activate the words in the body.

A luminous debut from a powerful soul!' -- Kathleen F. 

'I adore the spirit of this book so much. It is helping me reconnect with parts of my soul—past, present, and future. I read the poetry as part of my daily devotional and meditation practice. Catalina writes with such a deep understanding of the human soul and with an eloquence that is like a hug for your heart. Thank you for this beautiful offering. I highly recommend the accompanying oil. It is so divine!!' -- M. Nguyen

'Poetic eloquence that reaches the soul. Excellent companion for journaling or deep-dives into meaningful conversations. This gem definitely ranks at the top of my “favorite gift-giving ideas” list.'

'This collection of poetry covers a wide range of emotions and personal states of being, all under an umbrella of curation featuring a continuous theme of alchemy and transformation.

As a meditation practitioner myself, I can clearly relate to some of the material immediately, while other pieces are thought-provoking and good to dwell on bit by bit. This is not the kind of work to sit and attempt to read/process all at once.

I look forward to the second movement to come!'
