She has studied Shamanism for over 34 years and has been a practitioner for over 20.

She has also received training in Tibetan, Core and Celtic Shamanism.

She is currently recording her fifth CD with Cody Wigle in their group StarFaihre, Daughters of the Drum. Gwilda teaches workshops and wilderness programs and focuses drumming circles throughout the world.
But what is really at the heart of what Gwilda is about? Let's hear the answer in her own words:
"What do I do that's different than everybody else? I take the shamanic practices that I've been taught and use them to teach people to live a magic life. A life of conscious living. A life in which you come back to who you really are. A Path Home to your true nature. As we do that in mass the whole world comes into balance. That's what I'm trying to bring through my music and my teaching: how to use the shamanic way to come back into 'the way' so that we can re-enter the circle of life, we can find peace, prosperity, love and happiness again."
