The Healing Power of Unconditional Presence
Inhabiting Yourself, Your Body, and Your Emotional Experience

Steven Post and Barry Gordon

All psychological problems are ultimately spiritual issues— symptoms of disconnection from our capacity to be present with our experience. Conventional psychotherapy rarely teaches people how to directly inhabit their immediate experience with mindfulness and awareness. Learn more..

harnersThe Way of the Shaman: The Basic Workshop
Michael and Sandra Harner
Susan Mokelke

Widely considered an international authority on shamanism, Michael Harner introduces participants to core shamanism—the universal and near-universal basic methods shamans use to enter a nonordinary reality for problem solving, well-being, and healing. During this experiential workshop, participants receive an initiation 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 a prerequisite for advanced workshops and training courses given by approved faculty members of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies. (www.shamanism.org.)

Michael Harner, PhD, 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, PhD, 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.

Susan Mokelke, JD, is the assistant director of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies. She currently teaches and assists at the foundation’s weekend workshops with Michael and Sandra Harner and assists at the North American Three-Year Program in Advanced Initiations in Shamanism and Shamanic Healing. She has more than 10 years experience in shamanism and shamanic healing.
