"This vibrant book of wonders speaks true and dreams deep. Writing with blazing honesty she tells of her hard won knowledge of many of the world's spiritual and healing traditions while holding the Sacred Hoop of Native American wisdom. This magnificent teacher becomes for us a new embodiment of White Buffalo Woman." -- Jean Houston Author of The Search for The Beloved and The Possible Human Brooke Medicine Eagle -- Earthkeeper, visionary, teacher, poet and psychologist -- was raised on a Crow reservation in Montana. Now, in Buffalo Woman Comes Singing, she traces her spiritual development from her first guided steps on the medicine path to her ongoing work as one of the most highly respected Native American teachers of the modern era. Buffalo Woman Comes Singing explores fascinating uses of traditions like the Medicine Wheel; healing through ritual action; dreamtime; and the moon lodge, the woman's place of retreat and visioning. These powerful personal tools integrate ancient wisdom with contemporary experience, as Buffalo Woman calls each spiritual warrior to her own true place in the dance of life. A rich tapestry of the personal stories and ceremonies of a true Earthwalker and visionary. Drawing upon a wealth of Native teachings, Brooke speaks of the Rainbow Medicine Path -- where everyone is welcome to walk side by side. It was an honor to read Buffalo Woman Comes Singing." -- Grandmother Twylah Nitsch Co-author of Other Council Fires Were Here Before Ours
