Joslien WannechkoJoslien lives with her husband on an acreage near Ryley, Alberta. Prior to 2020 she led an active life, teaching First Aid classes and compiling a family history book as well as doing all the yard work. She compiled a 384 page volume on her husband'sfamily entitled Peter and Maria Wannechko - Their Legacy. Another of her accomplishments involved writing a series of herbal articles for a local newspaper as well as writing articles on different healing practices she does for a different publication. Joslien loves adventure and has travelled to many places; she incorporated this love with her passion for learning. She has had many teachers and mentors. A trip to Thailand was taken with her daughter during the early days of self -discovery with her teacher Laung Phor Viriyang Sirintaro, a Buddist monk. Three days of the fourteen were spent trekking up Mount Doi in Tha Non with meditation every morning and evening. Her trip to Japan included a hike up Mount Karama with her sensi Hyukaten Inamoto. A trip to India with a yoga group included the company of Kushok, a Buddhist monk and a student of the Dalai Lama. These three teachers, as well as others here at home, have influenced the way she dealt with the challenges she faced. Thankfully her husband enjoys to travel as much as she does and happily accompanies her. They love checking out different massage places together as well as enjoying the different cultures. Both of them often go off the resorts to meet locals and come home with a greater appreciation of life in Alberta, Canada. In March 2020, she had a major stroke. This book recounts her resilient journey to recovery. Read More Read Less
