Jean Tindle

Jean Tindle is a gifted teacher, healer and ceremonialist and has spent the last 20 years studying the shamanic traditions of North and South America. This includes long study with Peruvian maestro curandero Oscar Miro-Quesada. She has also spent many months in the jungles of Peru studying with medicine men and women of the Capanahua and Shipibo tribes. Her study in Chile focused on the feminine tradition of the Mapuche and she is a kultrun drum carrier in that tradition. Through this long shamanic training came a close connection with her own ancestors and their stories.

Jean has also received training and certification in crystal healing, sound healing and Reiki where she is a Master level.

It has long been her intention to create experiences for students and clients that open their hearts, touch their souls, and put them firmly on their path to joy and healing. Through writing classes, spiritual guidance, and healing sessions, she has achieved this intention. And along the way learned from each and every encounter.

Writing this book has fulfilled another long-held dream of becoming an author. The wisdom and guidance from her grandmothers has opened a whole new chapter in her own journey. It is another way to be of service to the healing of those who have gone before and for those who will come after her. In giving the grandmothers voice, she has found her own voice.

"I am grateful to offer this wealth of grandmother wisdom to my community and beyond to use for their own transformation."

She lives in Madison, WI with her partner Bob and all of their backyard birds and trees. For more information on classes and events, go to www.spiritdancercrystals.com, www.wisdomofthegrandmothers.com or check back on this page often.
