WithAwakening to the Spirit World, teachers Sandra Ingerman and Hank Wesselman bring together a circle of renowned Western shamanic elders (Tom Cowan, Carol Proudfoot-Edgar, José Stevens, and Alberto Villoldo) to present a comprehensive manual for making these practices accessible and available in our daily lives, including:
