The Photos in this gallery were taken in August 2003. I was one of two American members of the Foundation For Shamanic Studies 2003 Expedition to Tuva. We traveled to the Russian Republic of Tuva to participate in the International Symposium on Shamanism in August 2003. The Tuvan government, the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Foundation for Shamanic Studies, sponsored this gathering where we worked alongside of 80 Shamans from all over the world collectively performing healings for over 500 clients. This was both a scientific symposium with over 200 world scholars including anthropologists, ethnologists, ethnobotonists and psychologists as well as a gathering of practicing shamans. Kent Dorsey

These photos were taken over a two year period (2004 - 2006) during a part of my Shamanic Training. The site is located around 20 miles south of Santa Fe, New Mexico. The land was honored and used by several different groups because of the water available here. This is sacred art still filled with power. I thank the spirits and the ancestors for supporting my time amongst them. Photos by Kent Dorsey
