Bio
Martha Travers has a Ph.D. in English Language and Literature from the University of Michigan and taught writing for many years. Early in the teaching of college writing, she incorporated sitting meditation to help students let go of self-consciousness and access their personal voice. From 1999 until 2022, she apprenticed to the Kichwa Iachak (shaman) Alberto Taxo, learning practices that help people go with the flow of Nature, rather than impeding or interfering. Martha’s classes encourage development of the inner life – that quiet, open source from which creative inspiration flows.
Martha is the author of Shamanic Teachings of the Condor: Encounters with the Mystical Traditions of the Andes and The WayCard Oracle: A Guide to the Inner Journey.
