Your Instructor: Dr. Amber Balk has been involved with Ananda College for several years.

She holds a Ph.D. in Transpersonal Psychology and an MA in Women’s Spirituality from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology in Palo Alto, CA. Amber is of Choctaw and Southeastern Mississippian descent and carries ancestral motherline healer and seer medicine. She works with individuals and groups to facilitate psychospiritual development.
