Global Healing Vision co-host and co-founder Amy Greeson attended The Foundation for Shamanic Studies, Gathering of the Council this week in the San Francisco Bay area. The Foundation for Shamanic Studies was founded by internationally renowned anthropologist Michael Harner with a three-fold mission to study, to teach, and to preserve shamanism.

The Foundation for Shamanic Studies has built a reputation of consistency and excellence by providing effective, quality training in Core Shamanism to interested learners worldwide. Dr. Harner has been recognized as the pioneer and leader of the revival of shamanism since the early 60's when he chose to immerse himself in tribal spiritual traditions rather than restrict his study to more traditional academic techniques.

"I was extremely honored to be a part of this special gathering. I am grateful for the opportunity to have accompanied my dear friend, Stephanie Helberg, and to have met such beautiful people. At times in my life I find it difficult to find appropriate words to describe the feelings of the heart... this is one such time. The love and energy of this group-- their heartfelt intentions and paths were inspiring beyond description. These individuals joined together in such a way that at times I felt the entire groups' hearts were beating at the same time.

The work of this foundation is truly making a difference in the world of healing. These members recognize all too well that the incorporation of indigenous knowledge and wisdom into our society is absolutely vital to the health and well-being of our Global Village. I was profoundly reminded of how imperative it is that we honor, respect, and preserve these indigenous cultures.

Sandra and Michael Harner, Director Susan Mokelke, and new friends like Ralph and Rochelle Field, further enlightened and filled my heart with love.

I am grateful. I strongly encourage everyone to explore this amazing Foundation, and to support their powerful work."
