About Laural Virtues Wauters

As a young girl growing up in Frankfurt, Germany, I became very aware of trees and the spirits around me. In fact, my first "awakening" happened in a park filled with trees. After 9/11, I intensified my studies on the origins of world belief in search of our shared roots. The tree of life became a touchstone for my personal healing journey and the archetypal journey we all share. Today I am a Shamanic Practitioner (Four Winds Society), Reiki Master and Mandala Facilitator (Dr. Judith Cornell). I began writing my autobiography and discovered that my birth name meant "Guardian Tree". (Available early 2012) For more information visit: www.treeoflifeawakening.com
