There's a lot to unpack with this woman. I recently found her on Instagram, and quickly zeroed in on her "teaching" of spirit animals. I haven't found any personal information that speaks to her age or heritage, but seeing price tags attached to shamanic meditation packages and "third eye certification" on the same page set off alarm bells.
Included is her insta link page, look at the titles of some of these links alone.
https://linktr.ee/iamalysoncharlesThe link to "support indigenous causes here" does not link to a reputable indigenous nonprofit or the like, but rather to the
https://www.aniwa.co/ "gathering of wisdom", gathering "elders" (see link at the very bottom of page) to do ceremonies and the like. The cost for this last year was $700 for five days camping. I checked many of the names listed there to this site and non pinged, but some of the bios also raised alarms because the claims seemed similar to those demonstrated on this site.
Both the Aniwa site, through imagery and copy (this time attributed to a Lee Brown of the "Rainbow Prophecy Salish Tribe 1985), as well as Alyson, reference Rainbow Warrior prophecies, which have been debunked/traced on this site.
Here is Alyson's public profile page, where she also talks about spirit animals, how she "downloaded" her Rock Star Shaman name, and other such eyebrow raising things.
https://m.facebook.com/rockstarshaman/There is also an Alyson Charles who is a Canadian speedskater, so Google sometimes conflates the two when searching. But Alyson the speedskater is 21 and a black woman, for reference.
Here is a link to The Boa Foundation that apparently started the Aniwa group/retreats. It positions itself as a non profit with indigenous interests.
