In 1980, Michael Harner blazed the trail for the worldwide revival of shamanism with his seminal classic The Way of the Shaman. In 2013, Dr. Harner published the long-awaited sequel, Cave and Cosmos: Shamanic Encounters with Another Reality. This work draws from a lifetime of research, experimentation, and personal and students’ experiences. Using Cave and Cosmos as a reference and guide, we will learn from Michael Harner's masterwork.
