About Evelyn Rysdyk

Evelyn C. Rysdyk is an internationally recognized shamanic practitioner and bestselling author whose titles include The Norse Shaman and Spirit Walking: A Course in Shamanic Power. Along with her writings, Evelyn is an impassioned teacher and a featured presenter for The Shift Network, Sounds True, and other international, online programs.

Whether through face-to-face contact with individual clients, workshop groups, and teleconference participants, or through the printed word, Evelyn uses her loving humor and passion to open people’s hearts and inspire them to live more joyful, fulfilling, and purposeful lives.

She acknowledges that as people awaken their full selves, they are much more likely and able to make their unique contributions toward transforming our world.

Still bemused that she was shape-shifted by the spirits from being solely an artist into a writer, she lives and manifests all manner of creative mischief on the coast of Maine.

Bhola N. Banstola is a twenty-seventh-generation, indigenous dhami/jhankri from Nepal. He also holds a degree in cultural anthropology from the University of New Delhi.

He spent long periods with the shamans of the Himalayas (Nepal, India, Bhutan, Tibet), reworking shamanic techniques that allow him to be a bridge between his ancient culture and the modern world. He participates in international conferences and lectures and facilitates courses in Europe, North America, and Nepal. With his wife, Mariarosa (Mimi) Genitrini, Bhola founded NEPAL SHAMAN, a cultural association created to promote the preservation and expansion of traditional shamanic practices and cultural knowledge from Southern Asia with a specific focus on the Himalayas and Nepal.

Bhola is committed to preserving and spreading the ancient traditions of his people through this book, through workshops, teleconferences, and videos, and by hosting travelers to his homeland.

Bhola and Mimi live in Italy as well as Nepal and spend months traveling across Asia.
