Around 7 years ago, Wendy Whitman on a walkabout outside of Taos, New Mexico in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains found herself harvesting sage. The messages and feelings she received during this time motivated her to relocate to this area, change her name to Silver Wolf Walks Alone, and write about her spiritual healing and the use and sacredness of sage. Her Wolfwalker Collection sells products for smudging online. She has also adopted traditional ceremonial Native Ways and she offers spiritual retreats for healing.
