Coming from a unique Scottish and Native American heritage, Gloria Two-Feathers says hers was a family of story-tellers, who used analogies, oral history, and humor to teach her and her six siblings. As an adult, Gloria adventured to Wyoming and then to the Seattle area where she eventually opened The Earthwork School of Energy Healing. Her connection to Native American culture resonated strongly with Gloria, reinforcing her sense that everything is alive. She brings this extraordinary sensibility to the stories that have begun to flow through her in this newest chapter of her life.
