MEET  THE  MEDICINE  WOMEN 

 

It’s always a joy to meet women from all over the world, those on the path of natural healing and medicine work. Meet these women who work or have worked within the Southwestern region. Some have studied under the best herbalists, elders, and teachers. Some have been given the gift and have information, techniques and remedies passed down through the generations. Some are young Maidens who have a gift, a calling, a path to share their ancient knowledge with others. Our Medicine Women/Teachers will share their knowledge with you (teachers/classes subject to change without notice)

We are here to honor ALL women, the Maidens, the Mothers, and the Crones and of course Mother Earth and her plant life.

 

Welcome  Medicine  Women

Gigi Rock – Creator and Connector for the Southwestern Medicine Women Gathering.  Gigi has a Master’s in Cultural Anthropology and has had the honor of working with many indigenous medicine woman and men. A multi-generation herbalist, Gigi shares her passion of herbs and essences. “A mentor once told me that I had ancient wisdom with herbs, I have an uncanny knack of connecting with ancient plants for healing.”

Diane Nuckle – Is a lover of the Green World of plants and all the gifts that they offer us, and honors the “Wisdoms of the Ancients” of living a life close to nature and in rhythm with the cycles of the seasons.  It is her belief that our Creator has given us all the food and ‘medicine’ that we need to live long healthy lives. And, of course, you can’t be ‘loving the plants’ without having that deep awareness of the Spirit that moves through and connects all things. Life is Sacred!

Dawn Walter – I found yoga to be another channel, or connection, to the strength within myself (Spirit, God, Source). As a survivor of PTSD (a 9/11 survivor), I experienced healing and inspiration from my yoga teachers in NY. Today I teach and facilitate Trauma Conscious Yoga, meditation, breath work, and Yin.  Yoga’s gifts, including physical and emotional changes and spiritual awakenings, have brought me to a place where I am inspired to share the gift of yoga with others.

Cynthia Olivera de Kapp is a Master Medicinal Aromatherapist working in concert as a spiritual counselor and uses the medicinal essences to cut old paradigms and patterns. She has roots in the Taino Nation of indigenous peoples in the Caribbean and the indigenous peoples of the Island of Corsica. Cynthia has been teaching woman to dance their prayer, meditation, healing and spirituality.

Sunshine Rose Claymore – is an Environmental Scientist from the Standing Rock Reservation in the Dakotas. She is passionate about educating others about our connection to the world around us and how our interactions with our natural habitat could be honored in a respectable way through personal ritual. As a human on earth she works to empower others as self-healers to work together while enhancing our role as caretakers of our beautiful planet.

Melina Fuhrmann – I believe that I bring a truly unique formula into my sessions and courses. Combining cutting-edge science and research with ancient wisdom, I push the boundaries of reality for each of my clients and students, helping them experience their mind-body connection and uncover their innate abilities.
