About Me I am a teacher, activist, scholar and writing with a mission to give credibility to the therapeutic and healing practices adapted from indigenous peoples into western settings. I have a private client shamanic healing practice in Virginia and own MettaKnowledge for Peace (www.mettaknowledge.com) through which I do consulting and training with organizations working with problems of violence and attempting to foster peace.
