A new way to connect to the cycle of life through ancient shamanic practices for modern-day spiritual seekers.

Shaman presents a series of principles, structures, and inspirations through which readers can design their own organic rituals in a way that feels meaningful to them, regarless of belief, faith or superstition. Starting with a short history of shamanism, the book goes on to support the reader to understand and experience how rituals can be useful in their day-to-day lives, illustrated with real-life stories from shamanic healer Ya''Acov Darling Khan''s extensive experience over several decades of teaching. The core purpose of the book is to educate the reader about how to use the practice of ritual consciously in order to change their experience of life.
