Book Description:
About the Author:
Shamanistic practices involve ancient traditions that have been found in similar cultures around the world. The roots of shamanism in practices of healing, prophesy, group leadership, art, and mythology reflect neuropsychological bases that underlie the often surprising effectiveness of its practice.
Michael Winkelman, PhD, is developing permaculture-based sustainable communities in the central highlands of Goias, Brazil.
