Description
Born into a family of thirteen in the vast cotton fields of Carlsbad, New Mexico, Yolanda yearned for something beyond the rhythm of their sun-drenched days. Driven by an innate connection to nature and a restless spirit, she embarked on a journey. This book unveils the captivating tale of a woman who dared to follow her dreams, from the humble beginnings of working the land with her eleven siblings to embracing the mysteries of life and the allure of the natural world.
Yolanda’s journey is a testament to the power of dreams and the relentless pursuit of truth. It is a story that takes you from the familiar embrace of family and the simple joys of a life connected to nature to the rugged shores of Alaska, where she broke barriers as one of the pioneering women in commercial fishing. Yet, it is in the heartache of a shattering divorce and the trials of single motherhood that Yolanda’s resilience shined brightest during her next chapter of growth.
Never severing her bond with the Earth Mother, Yolanda began a movement with the creation of moon lodges, igniting a wildfire of sisterhood across the nation. Her quest for expression and connection led her to explore the art of drum making and the power of her voice, culminating in the honor of a NAMMY for her profound musical talents.
“Following Earth Mother’s Heartbeat” invites you to journey alongside a true spiritual leader, an energy worker whose hands craft the drums of awakening, and an award-winning musician whose songs echo the depth of her soul’s journey. Experience the magic, the struggles, and the triumphs of a woman who embraced life’s journey with open arms and a heart full of dreams. And learn how you, too, can experience a life full of mystery, love, and deep connection to the Spirit that pervades us all.
