Overview

Join James Endredy, noted author and shamanic practitioner, on a bizarre, brutal, and exhilarating excursion into realities that few people have had a chance to explore. Whether it’s discovering how to dream with the Lords of the Underworld or learning to fly with the help of his eagle nagual, outwitting a soul-stealing sorceress in Veracruz or conversing with the spirit of an ancient dwarf king, these gripping firsthand accounts chronicle Endredy’s mystical experiences while living and working with fifteen indigenous cultures in North and South America, Hawaii, and Mexico.

Endredy’s amazing, arduous, and sometimes life-threatening shamanic initiations and lessons illustrate the interconnectedness of all life, the importance of being humble enough to laugh at yourself, and the need to respect and learn from nature and her children.

Meet the Author

James Endredy is a teacher, mentor, and guide to thousands of people through his books and workshops. After a series of life tragedies and mystical experiences as a teenager he changed direction from his Catholic upbringing and embarked on a life-long spiritual journey to encounter the mysteries of life and death and why we are all here. For over twenty-five years he has learned shamanic practices from all over the globe, while also studying with kawiteros, lamas, siddhas, roadmen,
and leaders in the modern fields of ecopsychology, bioregionalism, and sustainable living. James also worked for ten years with Mexican shamanic researcher Victor Sanchez learning to share shamanic practices with modern people.

On a daily level, his experiences have inspired him to live a sustainable lifestyle as much as possible while still working within mainstream society. He writes, leads workshops, mentors private clients, visits schools and community centers, speaks at bookstores,
and volunteers in his community. His books have thus far been published in four languages and include Ecoshamanism, Shamanism for Beginners, and Beyond 2012.
