| In the year 2000 she left the states and began her travels between the USA and England teaching workshops on the traditions of the Native American Indian and the ideologies of Belandu - her objective of teaching Belandu was to shed light on the cultural and spiritual philosphy of the Native American Indian before colonization. Worshops focus on historical reference and cultural perspectives - they have been considered groundbreaking, innovative, inspiring and enlightening. There are also lectures and performance of story- telling with song. (please go to 'Features' for contact information and details of performance) Currently Ms Alcozer lives in Hampshire dedicating most of her time to writing. |
