Inner Journeys were created in the late 1990s by Loree Tucker McKenna, who describes the work as coming through spiritual guidance she received from Ascended Master Kuthumi, along with other guides and angels.For 47 years, Loree taught cello in Pendleton, Oregon, using the Suzuki Method — a step-by-step approach to learning that builds one small skill at a time. She began to wonder whether spiritual growth could unfold the same way: through practical tools people could actually use in everyday life.While traveling through forest shrines in Nova Scotia, Loree prayed, set intentions, and lit candles at each stop. She experienced candle-lighting as a doorway into contemplation, and began to see each destination as a page within a larger book. Over time, she wove these experiences together with her inner guidance to create Inner Journey 1.Loree began creating the tapestries in 1970–71, after setting an intention during meditation to become a healer, followed by a series of dreams in which she entered a deep cave and found sacred objects. She describes the tapestries as spiritually guided sculptures, each carrying its own vibration.Her decades of spiritual study — including A Course in Miracles and the channeled works of Paul Selig — became part of the foundation for the material. Loree describes Inner Journey as a distillation of many spiritual traditions, shaped by her own inner guidance.Inner Journey found a permanent home in downtown Pendleton in 2018. Loree later created Inner Journey 2, exploring grief and self-forgiveness, and Inner Journey 3, exploring change and connection with the Higher Self. She welcomes participants aged 13 and older into all three journeys.The Inner Journey at Cilly Wellness offers Inner Journey 1, 2 and 3.
