Journalist since 1992 – Foreign Correspondent – Columnist

bettina gordonEuropean Journalist Bettina M. Gordon grew up in Vienna, Austria, and came to New York City to pursue hercareer as a Foreign Correspondent and Columnist. Bettina interviewed many well respected Americans like media icon Walter Cronkite, actor Morgan Freeman and businessman/NYC mayor Michael Bloomberg. Bettina also writes the popular column "Wall Street Wildlife" and regularly contributes to magazines, as well as online publications in the US and Europe.

Her life changed significantly when Bettina met Oh Shinnah Fast Wolf in 2000 and embarked with the Apache Elder on "The Journey of the Waters", a Native American spiritual journey, which was Bettina's initiation into the world of ancient traditions and their benefits. The results that Bettina achieved by using the advice, tools and rituals given to her by multiple Wisdom Keepers in the subsequent years had a deep impact on her personally, as well as professionally.

Bettina created The Wisdom Keepers of the World™ DVD series because she is convinced, that once you integrate ancient traditions into your modern and complex life, your life will shift for the better and can improve in ways you never thought possible.

Bettina Gordon is that rare combination in a journalist: she's a smart, tough-minded, and skillful writer, yet she's open to and knowledgeable about the "non-rational," the unconventional, and, for wont of a better word, the spiritual. She's neither a cynic nor a true-believer. She's asks good questions, listens without pre-judging, and is willing to celebrate what rings true to her without apology. How rare, and refreshing. Her current investigations into the teachings of various indigenous wisdom traditions is important and timely, for soon these elders, and their wisdom, will be gone. There is a huge need and a growing hunger for these teachings in the so-called developed world. Thanks to Bettina for bringing them to us now.
