In 1980, Michael Harner blazed the trail for the worldwide revival of shamanism with his seminal classic The Way of the Shaman. In this long-awaited sequel, he provides new evidence of the reality of heavens.
The pioneering work of MICHAEL HARNER, PhD, brought shamanism to the West. In 1979, he and his wife, Sandra Harner, created the Center for Shamanic Studies, which later became the Foundation for Shamanic Studies, the world's foremost shamanic training organization. In 1987, he left academia to devote himself full-time to shamanism. His classic books on the subject have been translated into many languages.

about.”
—Carlos Castaneda, best-selling author of The Teachings of Don Juan

the technology of the sacred. Michael Harner is not just an
anthropologist who has studied shamanism; he is an authentic white
shaman.”
—Stanislav Grof, author of The Adventure of Self-Discovery

practicing shaman. Without doubt (since the recent death of Mircea
Eliade) the world’s leading authority on shamanism.”

be both a scientist and a shaman.”

journeys from [Harner's] students that spirits really do exist and
they want us to know that they exist."

perservation of shamanism and our renunion with humanity's original
spiritual heritage."
—Marc Star, New Dawn magazine

established The Foundation for Shamanic Studies and has been
actively promoting his work through regular workshops and lectures.

account..."
