HANK WESSELMAN has been a Shamanic Practitioner for 30 years, but he is also a paleo-anthropologist with a Masters Degree in Zoology, and a Doctoral Degree in Anthropology. Over the past 40 years, he has conducted research with an international group of scientists exploring Eastern Africa's Great Rift Valley in search of answers to human origins. His fieldwork has allowed him to live among indigenous tribal people who have rarely had contact with outsiders and to encounter their traditional Shaman.

LUISA KOLKER, licensed psychotherapist and Shamanic Healer, lives in SANTA FE, NM. Although she was born into a long line of doctors and psychiatrist, she came to understand that there is more to healing than just working with the physical body and mind. She was born with strong psychic gifts which were frowned upon and discouraged by her psychiatrist father, but upon reaching adulthood, Spirit led her to people and places that not only recognized her gifts, but helped her to develop and learn how to use them to help others.
