Scarlet Kinney of the Standing Bear Center for Shamanic Studies, is an artist, writer and mythologist. She earned her BA in studio art at Goddard College, Plainfield, VT, and her MA in Mythological Studies with an Emphasis on Depth Psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute, Carpinteria, CA. Scarlet studied the women's shamanic ways of the Iroquois Nation with a Mohawk shaman woman for three years, and founded The Standing Bear Center for Shamanic Studies in 1994. The Center offers shamanic workshops, individual shamanic counseling, and an apprentice training program leading to certification as a Shamanic Counselor, Kinney Method. Scarlet is presently working on two books that tell her story. The Stone Heart Turtle People, the last chapter in one of those books, is a shamanic healing myth that Scarlet tells to the accompaniment of shamanic drumming, singing and chanting. She and her women's shamanic drumming group, The Turtle Mountain Drummers, will perform The Stone Heart Turtle People at Mythic Journeys.
