Shaman: Spirit Walker 2011 Wall Calendar

Shamanism is our oldest spiritual system used for healing, problem-solving and improving the well-being of individuals and their communities. The shaman is a walker between worlds and, in tribal cultures, serves as healer, seer, spiritual adviser and dream interpreter. Working with compassionate spirit allies, the shaman undertakes ecstatic shamanic journeys into the mystical worlds of the hidden universe in order to help others.
As we in the modern world are called to reconnect with our own spiritual resources for inspiration, healing and wisdom, it is important to remember that our ancestors on all inhabited continents once thrived in the embracing circle of shamanism. From the earliest times art has been used to express the inner life and to depict shamanic experiences, the invisible worlds and particular helping spirits. The Shaman: Spirit Walker 2011 Wall Calendar offers a wide range of insightful and inspiring quotes paired with the shamanic art of Meinrad Craighead, Bonnie Bisbee, Cathy McClelland and Mark Wagner. The art and text have been carefully selected and paired by Beth Beurkens, M.A., a long-time teacher of shamanism and vision quest guide. Her first collection of poetry, Shaman's Eye, was released in 2009. She is a faculty member at the Foundation for Shamanic Studies, founded by internationally renowned anthropologist Dr. Michael Harner.
