'[During Medicine Walks] you will be shown how to walk with heightened senses and experience nature with the eyes and ears of the shaman. We will share in a small ceremony to ask for permission to collect medicine and thanks for what we take away.
At her website, she also sells bach flower essences, etc, and a line of essential oils and whatnot called 'Medicine Woman'.
An initial impression is that perhaps her name, Silver Wolf Walks Alone, is twinkie for 'unmarried elderly woman'.
And sure enough, her story is the stereotypical new age 'mid-life crisis' kinda story: was living in California with a family, job, 'had it all', and then had a 'mid-life crisis', left it all and now she lives in a Pueblo house, changed her name to 'Silver Wolf Walks Alone', and 'adopted Native ways', or at least her idea of Native ways, largely modeled on a sage-based spirituality and selling of ceremony, herbs, 'teachings' etc, in Taos, NM. I have no idea what kind of ceremonies she is teaching, but it certainly warrants investigation.
I'm not sure which tribe she is mimicking, or maybe she is just playing 'generic Indian' as her book proclaims 'Aho Mitakuye Oyasin!' and 'Aho Mitakuye Oyasin! Da'nah!' in several places, and then she cites stuff about the Pueblos, but she has a teepee at her retreat center. So I'm not quite sure what she is up to, or if she directly makes claim to any tribe. But she is undeniably a typical and offensive example of a new age fraud.
