Foundation for Shamanic Studies Field Associates and Staff Associates

The FSS has a network of specialists in shamanism throughout the world to help save indigenous shamanic knowledge in imminent danger of being lost. The FSS also responds to requests from native peoples to help revive and maintain their own shamanic traditions. This work is accomplished largely through the Foundation's extensive international network of Field Associates and Faculty who are now operating on five continents.
