Every glass Honu sells means one baby hatchling adopted. Amy Wakingwolf
I am a glass healer, jewelry artist, coach, and sea turtle rescuer. I help people find their inner beach, a place of healing, waking, peace, play and love. And I help sea turtles, and want to save as many as I can. I have been an artist and healer as long as I can remember...
The dream of an 11-year-old:
I knew I wanted to work in glass since I was 11 years old. One magical day I had gone to the county fair and my father gave me the gigantic sum of 20 dollars and the instruction that we would all meet back, at the first booth, the glass sculpture booth. This is exactly where he found me four hours later, with the 20 dollars still in hand, watching wide-eyed as the artist was turning molten rods into unicorns, swans, and fairies. I told my mom that I knew what I wanted to do with my life, and we sat down and wrote to the only glass crafters we could think of, Stuben Glass, to see if they needed any 11-year-old apprentices, but they didn’t. So I went on with my life, lived in New York, San Francisco, London, having a wonderful time with other adventuring artists, crafters, dancers, healers, and a whole cornucopia of beautiful people. I lived with a collective of artists who also loved glass, and we all shared our talents. Soon I was making hand-blown miniature aromatherapy bottles pendants and learning to practice healing with natural oils. Becoming a Shaman and Healer:
I did not know it at the time, but I was being prepared for my other calling in this life, becoming a healer and shaman. At the end of my training, I experienced “a dark night of the soul”. This is where a shaman in training faces his or her darkness, the idea being healer heal thyself first, and it can last for days, months or even years. Then one night my teacher, Snake Woman, came to me and said, “One day, Amy, you will awaken the wolf within you and you will know what to do”. I received my name and my life's purpose that night. Sea turtle rescue:
I camp at sea turtle nests, I protect hatchlings from predators, I get to build fences and clean beaches and sometimes the sea floor as well. I love protecting these creatures, there are only 7 nesting females left on Maui and they need protectors and they need patrons, so if you desire to help to please donate to the Hawaii Wildlife fund. I also "adopt" a sea turtle hatchling for each glass Honu I sell. I also spread sea turtle love far and wide with videos, on my group Turtle Lovers Maui (please join!)
My Life's work:
Today I blend all my passions: My art, healing, and sea turtle rescuing by sharing healing stories with each Honu. My Honu are crafted with intention, they each tell a story, and I choose gemstones to compliment that energy. My vision is that these turtles are ambassadors of all the ocean energy and they become more than a piece of jewelry they become more like helpful friends that are part of your support system of health and growth in to the amazing person that swims wild inside of you. With love
