about greta hough
Originally from Philadelphia, and a master level English teacher and instructional coach, Greta has been in the field of education for the last 24 years, focusing on the social and emotional well-being of her students, colleagues, and families. Much of her work is centered around helping people restore their relationships within themselves and their communities in and outside the classroom. Greta is the creator of a teen leadership and wellness curriculum, titled, The Alchemy Wheel, Course for Teens, where she works with young people to help foster inner resilience and deep growth and change within one’s life, creating freedom, fulfillment, and connection.
In 2014, after many successful years teaching and coaching, Greta decided to leave the classroom and move to the Southwest to begin a new journey. (Little did she know the classroom would call her back once again…over and over…to create something innovative and highly conscious- a new type of curriculum that address teen wellness in a profoundly deep way.)
In 2016, after studying for 2 ½ years with The Four Winds Society, Alberto Villoldo’s school for Energy Medicine, Greta was certified as a Shamanic Energy Medicine Practitioner, and has continued to work with clients and families to promote lasting health and wellness. In 2022, she co-founded Lineages Earth Wisdom School with Peter Bonaker, Phd., a teacher of Advanced Shamanic studies along with her partner, Three Trees, creator of SoulMonic Sound Healing. Together, they have developed a curriculum to ethically train and prepare practitioners to deal with the energetic issues of our times.
Greta now resides in Becket, Massachusetts with her partner, Three Trees, and their dog, Marley Bear. During the summer and fall season, she works at Helia Native Land Design company, a native landcare and nursery in the Berkshires, where she has cultivated a deep love and appreciation for her relationship with nature. Greta also continues to travel to the Southwest to work with schools where she offers The Alchemy Wheel, Course for Teens workshops. Her life is devoted to working with and alongside people around issues of the mind and heart, fusing her experience as educator, coach, and Shamanic Energy Medicine practitioner.
“I am deeply dedicated to people finding their ‘voice’ to walk audaciously in their lives- conscious, connected, and free. I work with youth, families, and clients to help them align with their life's purpose and alchemize the events and experiences in their lives- creating wellness, harmony, clarity, and freedom especially from the ‘binds of the past’.”
