Selling sweats, "medicine wheel teachings", spiritual tourism involving ayahuasca, etc. Claims her teachers were Villoldo, Sun Bear / Vincent LaDuke, and others we have threads on.
The business is run by Holly Gray Schuck http://www.sacredjourneys-wi.com/about.htm
Some Indigenous women from the cultures Schuck is vulturing from called her and confronted her. They say Schuck told them she doesn't care what they think, and that she's going to continue to sell ceremony.
Schuck is also selling the Munay-Ki (http://www.newagefraud.org/smf/index.php?topic=1622) scam.

She also seems to have written a book promoting Castaneda.

There are two sites asking for reviews of Schucks's services. This is a good way to point out, taking great care to be accurate and use a calm tone, concerns about Schuck's ethics and learning from dubious people.

There's now a petition about her as well:
Stop Non-Native Holly Schuck from performing Native American Ceremonies

There should be a separate thread ...

There should be a separate thread on Serge King, which I will start when I have a chance. He is not Hawaiian, but claims to be what he calls a Hawaiian shaman or kahuna.
We have the beginnings of a thread here: http://www.newagefraud.org/smf/index.php?topic=2082.0
A search from the main page will also turn up a number of threads he's mentioned in.

Thanks. I searched from the wrong page. :o

I just would like to add that I have personally asked Holly Schuck to stop performing these ceremonies and "teachings". She really did not care at all that people like myself, a Mapuche native would be offended by anything she did. She was belligerent, loud and rude to me and said that her teacher who is also a non-native Luz Clara instructed her to "Bring these teachings to the West" (Which is stupid because Chile is on the West coast of South America). As of now the petition requesting that she stop selling these "teachings" has 122 sigs.

She is a level VII Frequency of Brilliance practitioner
http://www.sacredjourneys-wi.com/bio.html (http://www.sacredjourneys-wi.com/bio.html)
Frequencies of Brilliance is a unique energy healing technique that involves the activation of energetic doorways on both the front and back of the body.
These doorways are opened through a series of light touches. This activation introduces high-level Frequencies into the emotional and physical bodies.
http://www.frequenciesofbrilliance.com/ (http://www.frequenciesofbrilliance.com/)
Which means lots of money for lots of workshops, in lovely things like "bone molding", which you too can do once you paid for the workshops and have been "initiated into the process of aligning with the consciousness that exists within the bone itself".

Holly Gray Schuck did at one time have the married surname Knezevich, she does not any longer. Born 1950, Minnesota. Her mother's maiden name was Gray.
Looked over what others have done on various branches of her family genealogy, all ancestors are white.
