Ken Cohen., (2003) Honoring the Medicine: The Essential Guide to Native American Healing. NY: Random House

2012: In the summer of 2012, I had the deep, unknowing desire to travel to South Dakota. Time in the beautiful and vast scenery of the Badlands, The Devil's Tower, Custer State Park, I became increasingly aware that I was called to travel here and it was in this time that travel rejuvenated my soul. Maybe it was the time spent in scared spaces and an appreciation for the Native American tradition, I was thankful and inspired. I found this book and appreciated a way to think of symptoms in a more holistic way.
