The author of several books and the creator of the Shamanic Breathwork™ Process, much of Star Wolf’s work is reve­la­tory and comes from her own direct expe­ri­ence. With over 30 years of recov­ery from her own expe­ri­ence with addic­tions, Star Wolf has dedi­cated her life to help­ing others to release dysfunc­tional patterns of all kinds and to radi­cally trans­form their lives. She teaches people how to awaken to the bigger picture, embody their own inner Visionary Shaman and step into a life of passion­ate purpose. Star Wolf’s strong personal commit­ment to sacred activism and vision­ary lead­er­ship led her to create the Shamanic Ministers Global Network, a world­wide asso­ci­a­tion of Shamanic Ministers and Congregations dedi­cated to help­ing those they serve to awaken to their own sacred purpose. Star Wolf also co-founded the annual Wise Wolf Councils, a four-day gath­er­ing of spir­i­tual lead­ers and lay people from around the world who come together to share their wisdom teach­ings and to vision for our planet. In 2003, Star Wolf and her husband, Brad Collins, Co-Founded the Isis Cove Community and Retreat Center in the beau­ti­ful Blue Mountains of west­ern North Carolina where they reside in commu­nity with 20 other shamanic prac­ti­tion­ers who have also made Isis Cove their home—along with several dogs, cats, chick­ens, goats, birds and crit­ters of all kinds.

Starting out as a ther­a­pist in the mental health and addic­tions fields in the 1980's, Star Wolf is a nation­ally certi­fied alco­hol and drug coun­selor. She holds a BA in Human Services from St. Leo College and a Doctorate of Ministry and Ph. D. in Spiritual Psychology from the University of Integrative Learning where she first conceived the idea of some­day creat­ing a shamanic psychos­pir­i­tual univer­sity. Star Wolf was orig­i­nally intro­duced to Holotropic breath­work by its founder, Stan Grof, and trained exten­sively with Jacquelyn Small, founder of Integrative Breathwork, becom­ing one of the lead train­ers at Small's Eupsychia Institute. Star Wolf also stud­ied shamanic earth wisdom teach­ings with the late Grandmother Twylah Nitsch, a Seneca Wolf Clan elder and founder of the Seneca Indian Historical Society. Grandmother Twylah adopted Star Wolf as a Spiritual Granddaughter and gave her the spirit name of Star Wolf.

Star Wolf created the Shamanic Breathwork™ Process as a synthe­sis of her personal explo­ration and direct heal­ing expe­ri­ences with breath­work, shamanic wisdom, depth psychol­ogy and addic­tions recov­ery meth­ods. The Shamanic Breathwork™ Process utilizes the breath, sound heal­ing through chakra-attuned music, ener­getic body­work, soul return and extrac­tion, shamanic art processes, scrib­ing and group process­ing. Journeyers enter an altered state of conscious­ness that trans­forms and inte­grates trauma expe­ri­enced earlier in life, creates a connec­tion with their soul and spirit guides, and receive visions about their sacred purpose in the world.
