The Way of the Shaman

Michael and Sandra Harner

Widely considered international authorities on shamanism, Michael and Sandra Harner introduce 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.
