WHITE EAGLE MEDICINE WOMAN
White Eagle Medicine Woman’s (Suraj Holzwarth) adventurous life began early, when at the age of 19 she became the youngest woman to climb Denali, North America’s highest peak.
With a deep love for the earth, she spent most of her early years in the wilds and guided wilderness expeditions throughout the world for over twenty years.
In the late 90’s she received a vision in dreams with indigenous Grandmothers to create the world’s largest healing drum. Beginning in 2000 and taking over a year to construct, White Eagle and the multicultural Alaskan community built the seven-foot, crystal inlaid GrandMother Drum.
In 2001, White Eagle and Grandmother Drum were launched on their first of many World Peace Tours inspiring unity, peace and “drumming up” awareness of earth sustainable projects with the theme “ The Heartbeat of One Family, One Earth.
White Eagle is the founding director and Drum keeper of the GrandMother Drum International Peace Project and the 501c3 non-profit Whirling Rainbow Foundation. She is internationally known as a shamanic healer, seer, trance-medium, author, speaker, teacher, ceremonial and performance artist. She has traveled over a million miles touching a million people in 20 countries promoting unity, peace, tribal reconciliation, and earth sustainability. As a singer, chantress and world musician, White Eagle’s voice has a primal and mesmerizing quality, penetrating to the very heart and soul of our indigenous connection with each other and the earth. Her CDs include “Journey of the Heart”, “Songlines of the Soul”, “Living Waters of Grace” and the newly released double CD, “Holy Ground”. She is a master drum maker having made more than 5000 hand drums and 50 Community Mother Drums (3 feet crystal inlaid drums).
White Eagle is also the director and co-producer of the documentary film “GrandMother Drum: Awakening the Global Heart”, selected as the Top 20 Spiritual Films at the Tel Aviv Spirit Film Festival in 2008. In 2010 and 2012, the “Traveling Song”, and “Birthing Chant” respectively won the “Alaska Song of the Year” in the World Music Category. She is the author of “The Magic Bundle” children’s book, and “Songs of A New Earth” songbook as well as the director of the Rainbow Fire Mystery School, operating month long shamanic schools in Alaska, Hawaii and Peru. Her extensive spiritual teachings are found in the “Language of One” and the “Heart of One” books and online courses and she has channeled and created the certified hands on healing Crystal Skull Method. In 2013, White Eagle launched the Global Blue Flame Planetary Grid ceremony, activating and renewing the earth’s grid in a one day ceremony annually with 62 trained groups worldwide. White Eagle is also a licensed minister.
Renamed by her tour staff, “Indiana Jane” for her utter perseverance to fund and travel the 7ft thundering symbol of the heartbeat of love globally, White Eagle has certainly “traveled to the beat of a different drummer,” placing herself in the midst of countless social, racial and political conflicts, environmental crisis’ and personal loss to sound the urgent call in awakening the heart of humanity. She has been honored to be initiated by many indigenous Elders and has been passed many of their ancient medicine bundles and global responsibilities. As a mother of two beautiful children and a total lover of humanity, White Eagle feels passionate that humanity can only move forward through positive prayerful activism focusing on the highest good of all and has often been referred to as the “Mother of the Rainbow Nation.”

MICHAELA BAUMGARTNER, MA
Michaela Ashaneya Baumgartner, is an International Healer, Teacher, Author and Performance Artist. She is the Co-Director of the 501c3 non-profit organization The Whirling Rainbow Foundation and Grandmother Drum International Peace Project.
Michaela is a Certified Bowen Practitioner, Certified Master of Shamanic Arts and Certified CSM Practitioner & Instructor. Born and raised in Austria, she now makes her home in Homer, Alaska. Since 2010, she has toured in 16 countries with the foundation, touching hundreds of thousands of lives as a Cultural & Healing Arts Teacher, Musician, Tour Manager & Program Coordinator.
During these world peace tours she has worked extensively on local environmental issues and reconciliation work with indigenous tribes from all around the world. Michaela has been honored by many indigenous Elders, initiated in their shamanic teachings and given medicine bundles and responsibilities to carry forward.
She serves as the foundation’s Board Member, Master Drum Maker, Ceremonial Artist, Health Practitioner, Flute Teacher and Recording Artist. Michaela managed the Europe Peace Tour facilitating reconciliation ceremonies for Israeli descendants of the Holocaust at Austrian concentration camps.
She pioneered the foundation’s encompassing work on grief titled “Loss2Love”, teaching workshops and online courses, giving lectures and private sessions which all focus on empowering ways to build a new relationship with oneself and loved ones after earth-shattering loss. She utilizes the power of transformative listening & counseling, sound healing, breath work, ceremonial methods, bodywork and energy work. As an Intuitive Reader, she bridges between the worlds through various ways of communication as the dialog with our loved ones need not end but can ascend to new forms. Currently, she is training with Austria’s Top Medium Irene Gira-Marl to become certified as a Medium.
Michaela’s forthcoming memoir “Loss2Love” inspires others through her own journey of devastating loss. In 2009, her 19-year-old brother and only sibling died in a tragic car accident. Michaela’s greatest heartbreak, it was also the peak experience of a series of losses back-to-back at an early age which ultimately burned her whole life to the ground and literally so. Initiated by this hot fire of grueling, unbearable change, it also became the turning point of her life path to becoming a professional healer, teacher and mentor.
Broken by her brother’s death, in 2010 Michaela traveled 20,000 miles across Canada by road and by foot, searching for healing and some kind of meaning in her utter despair. Cradled by the silence of the Canadian wilderness, nature restored a deep inner peace and unearthed an authentic spiritual path that led her north to Alaska where Michaela met White Eagle Medicine Woman. Intrigued by the foundation’s global peace, healing and sustainability work, Michaela began her five-year Apprenticeship and has developed a wide range of skillsets since through decades of her global work.
Michaela holds a Master’s Degree in Literature and Communications from the University of Vienna. A graduate of the Upper Austrian Journalist Academy, she had a career as a political journalist in Austria in her twenties, working for newspapers and radio until she rerouted her life to becoming a professional healer, teacher, musician and author.
