Linda Star Wolf, PhD, is the author of nine books, creator of Shamanic Breathwork™, and founder of Venus Rising Association for Transformation. She is the founding president of Venus Rising University for Shamanic Psychospiritual Studies and cofounder, with her late husband Brad Collins, of Isis Cove, a community and retreat center in North Carolina. She also created the Wise Wolf Councils and the Shamanic Ministers Global Network.
Star Wolf has been a therapist and a nationally certified alcohol and drug counselor for more than 30 years. She has studied Holotropic Breathwork with Stan Grof, Integrative Breathwork with Jacquelyn Small, and shamanic earth wisdom teachings with her adopted Seneca Wolf Clan grandmother, Twylah Nitsch, who gave her the spirit name of Star Wolf.
The Shamanic Breathwork process is a synthesis of her personal exploration and direct healing experiences with breathwork, shamanic wisdom, depth psychology, and addictions recovery methods. It is a practice using the transformative healing power of the breath, sound healing through chakra-attuned music, energetic bodywork, art, and dynamic group processing.
