My new non-fiction book, "Traveler Between Worlds". Cover photos by Denali Schmidt coming in 2023-2024.

Jo describes her journeys with "plant medicine in Mexico" as part of the VETS program, her time as a Sundancer (WiWayang Wacipi) with the Lakota and Menominee, her training and work with Aboriginal elders in Australia and New Zealand.

She recounts her visionary experiences in the holy lands and her winter training with the Shaolin in the Yun Tai mountain martial arts training center in Henan province, China; as well as her time in Kurdistan during and after the siege of Mosul and the invasion of Daesh/ISIS.

The final chapters describe her work and life in remote Alaska, brief encounters in Malta and Thailand and the challenging transition in her physical, emotional and spiritual life as she returns to her home state of Texas.
