In this course, we cover the roots of religious beliefs all around the world, Shamanism. We cover various religious methods from many different backgrounds and as a student, by the end of this course, you will have a firm grasp on how religious ideas emerged, where they came from, but most importantly you will have a firm concept of how you can experience shamanic states for yourself. This course is designed to teach students how to have their OWN religious experience. Specifically, we talk about sensory deprivation, meditation, psychedelics, and psychotropics, as well as a variety of other religious methods designed to help a shaman or initiate enter the spirit world. Our primary resource, or textbook if you will, is Michael Harner’s The Way of the Shaman.
This classic on shamanism pioneered the modern shamanic renaissance. It is the foremost resource and reference on shamanism. Now, with a new introduction and a guide to current resources, anthropologist Michael Harner provides the definitive handbook on practical shamanism – what it is, where it came from, how you can participate.
“Wonderful, fascinating… Harner really knows what he’s talking about.”
CARLOS CASTANEDA
“An intimate and practical guide to the art of shamanic healing and the technology of the sacred. Michael Harner is not just an anthropologist who has studied shamanism; he is an authentic white shaman.”
STANILAV GROF, author of ‘The Adventure Of Self Discovery’
“Harner has impeccable credentials, both as an academic and as a practising shaman. Without doubt (since the recent death of Mircea Eliade) the world’s leading authority on shamanism.”
NEVILL DRURY, author of ‘The Elements of Shamanism’
Michael Harner, Ph.D., has practised shamanism and shamanic healing for more than a quarter of a century. He is the founder and director of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies in Norwalk, Connecticut
