About Robes of Light
A virtual wisdom school for consciousness explorers, sacred warriors, and everyday mystics
The (Brief) Backstory
From Side Quest to Sacred Mission: The Birth of Robes of Light
Cassidy Dawn and Susan Reardon are spiritual healers, mystical artists, and experienced facilitators of online learning.
They met at Columbia University’s Spirituality, Mind, and Body Institute, each on their own side quests but unknowingly exploring a similar subject in their graduate research: the hero’s journey.
Years later, they reunited and began a weekly practice of mutual spiritual coaching, syncing their lives to the rhythm of the sun and moon. What began as friendship rooted in sacred inquiry (what would it look like to live the heroic journey?) became a profound spiritual practice.
What followed was beautiful: increased synchronicity, heightened creativity, and a deepened sense of meaning and authenticity. They discovered something they felt compelled to share.
From this living experiment, Robes of Light was born—an online spiritual adventure designed to help you recalibrate your inner compass:
- align your personal will with Higher Will;
- flow through life with divine timing;
- reconnect with your soul powers, your intuitive and creative gifts.
Essentially, turn fate into destiny.
Inspired by ancient wisdom and modern science of consciousness, their work invites you into a life of real magic that is based in God (Source, Spirit, or your Word for the Highest Power).
But rather than tell you about it, they prefer you to have an experience for yourself.
Robes of Light kicks off a new season every equinox and solstice with a virtual live show card reading that is open to anyone and, as always, held in a sacred container.

Values
Healing the Wasteland
The heroic journey is not about personal glory; it's about healing the Wasteland: the psychological, social, and ecological wounding of a world out of balance. We seek the Grail (psychospiritual wholeness) not just for ourselves, but to contribute to the collective healing of our world. We believe the sacred lives in the mundane, where small acts of everyday courage create ripples in the collective field. What we heal within ourselves, we help heal in the world.
Alignment to the Highest Power
By surrendering to Higher Will, our true purpose unfolds naturally as we follow intuitive guidance and the heart's true desires—always in service to the highest good of all. We honor the divine spark within all beings and recognize all wisdom traditions offer paths toward the Highest Power. Your path is welcome here.
Sovereignty
We honor free will by not attempting to bend the will of others, either overtly through control or subtly through persuasion. We practice integrity: align thought, word, and action with our own inner wisdom. We don't require specific behaviors or beliefs as conditions of membership. Authenticity—not conformity—is the path.
Play
We embrace creativity and laughter as expansive and regenerative practices. Profound healing can feel like joyful exploration. We encourage freedom from perfectionism and delight in discovering your unique gifts.
Goodwill
Your story is welcome—valued as sacred—here. We listen with compassion and uplift one another as witnesses and cheerleaders. We confide challenges and celebrate victories together with the spirit of goodwill, practicing "Yes, and..." rather than "No, but..."
Your Wayshowers
Susan Reardon
As a child Susan was a sensitive spirit-body full of energy; always moving, twirling, flipping, dancing, balancing, and stretching the limits of her little body.
Her love of human movement informed her decision to study exercise physiology in her early adult years. It was her sensitivity however that lead her to discover her natural abilities as a spiritual healer. Captivated by the mysterious synergy of spirit and body Susan has utilized yin breathwork in the practice of spirit-mind-body alignment and integration for 25 years in order to cultivate space and stillness as a way to know her Self and the Presence.
Susan is most inspired by movements of Love and the dance of relationship. She feels most at home in nature, in quiet intimate settings, and with animals. Her creative outlets include cooking, mixed media art, and living life as a dance/art process utilizing color, vibration, and texture to inspire each of these areas.
Susan is an Ordained Minister in the Sanctuary of the Beloved Church, IAYT Certified Yoga Therapist, and Spiritual Healer. She currently resides in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia with her partner of 20 years and her cats, Dominic and Dawson.
Cassidy Dawn
Before Cassidy was old enough to read, she was captivated by words and story. Her natural affinity for communication later informed her academic pursuits as she studied rhetoric, creative writing, literature, archetypal psychology, and the science of consciousness. She discovered that this knowledge paired with her intuition was ideal for cartomancy as a tool for spiritual healing.
In her early adult years, Cassidy took a deep dive studying the purpose and practice of education: pedagogy, curriculum design, social and emotional learning, and creativity. For over a decade she has supported individuals and ventures in their creative self-actualization through writing, curriculum design, and business development.
A lifelong journaler, Cassidy can usually be found with pen in hand, ready to jot down the latest insight, prayer, or doodle. She enjoys being in nature, as well as singing and dancing around the house.
Cassidy is an Ordained Minister in the Sanctuary of the Beloved Church, initiate of the Magdalene Heart Path, and disciple of the Siddhanath Yoga Sangh. She is honored to have received healing and wisdom transmissions from master teachers, human and plant alike. She lives with her husband, daughter, and two Siberian cats wherever the Mystery leads them.
