The Way of the Shaman:
Shamanic Journeying,
Power, and Healing
—The Basic Workshop

Michael Harner and
Sandra Harner

Widely considered an international authority on shamanism, Michael Harner introduces participants to core shamanism—the universal and near-universal basic methods of the shaman to enter a nonordinary reality for problem solving, well-being, and healing. During this experiential workshop, participants are initiated into shamanic journeying, aided by drumming and other techniques for experiencing the shamanic state of consciousness, as well as for divination and healing.

This workshop is the prerequisite for more advanced workshops and training courses given by approved faculty members of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies (www.shamanism.org).

Michael Harner, Ph.D., founder of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies, pioneered the return of shamanism and shamanic healing to contemporary life. He has done fieldwork in the upper Amazon, western North America, Samiland (Lapland), and the Canadian Arctic. His books include The Way of the Shaman; Hallucinogens and Shamanism; and The Jivaro: People of the Sacred Waterfalls.

Sandra Harner, Ph.D., directs the Shamanism and Health program for the Foundation for Shamanic Studies. She is the author of various publications on the effects of shamanic drumming and journeying on health.
