  • Michael Harner, PhD

    SHAMANIC TEACHER

    The founder of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies, Dr. Michael Harner pioneered the introduction of shamanism and the shamanic drum journey to contemporary life and is recognized as the world leader in this movement.

    Perhaps Dr. Harner’s greatest contribution has been this pivotal role of bridging the worlds of indigenous shamanism and the contemporary West through his fieldwork and research, experimentation, writings, and original development of the core methods of shamanism.

    His books include The Way of the Shaman, Hallucinogens and Shamanism, The Jívaro, and Cave and Cosmos: Shamanic Encounters with Another Reality.

“The shaman no longer looks for meaning in life, but brings meaning to every situation. The shaman stops looking for truth and instead brings truth to every encounter. You don t look for the right partner, you become the right partner. And then the right partner finds you. It s a very active practice focused on healing.”

“To an Earthkeeper, love is not a feeling or something your barter with. Love is the essence of who you are, and it radiates from you as a brilliant aura: You become love, practice fearlessness, and attain enlightenment.”

“The nature of the cosmos is such that whatever vision you have about yourself and the world will become reality. As soon as you awaken to the power you have, you begin to flex the muscles of your courage.”
