The Work of Michael & Sandra Harner

Michael Harner’s inspiring film about his search for meaning.

This documentary places Michael Harner Ph.D., and his wife Sandra at the center of the history, and development of Core Shamanism; the Universal, Near Universal, and Common Practices of Shamanism Worldwide.

The film follows Michael's early expeditions as a young anthropologist, into the jungles of the Ecuadorian and Peruvian Amazon, where he experienced what would become a life-changing understanding of Shamanic potential.

Michael and Sandra subsequently established the Foundation For Shamanic Studies, in San Francisco; to explore, teach, and preserve Shamanism for the benefit of all.

This led to the beginning of a Worldwide renaissance of Shamanism, and Shamanic Healing through the Foundation's International training programs.

This film is an inspiring look at the people behind the evolution of this spiritual healing methodology which honours, and builds upon the ancient knowledge of the Worlds Shamans.

Through the Foundations initiatives, thousands of students have re-discovered these hidden spiritual resources, transformed themselves, and learned how to help others, and our precious Earth.

Shamanism can be found within the wider study of anthropology, and it was Michael Harner, the highly respected anthropologist, who advanced the public interest in it, by reinterpreting it for the 21st Century.
