About the Workshop Leader

Several years prior to becoming a shaman Larisa Koronowski had a mystical experience of light entering her body during meditation, after which she was able to assist people in healing. Despite coming from a long line of shamanic healers, she long resisted the calling, taking up jobs as a German language teacher and then as an interpreter at the Government of the Republic of Tuva at the Ministry of National Policy.

She is a now a native Tuvan hereditary Shamaness and is willing to share her secrets. www.tuvanshaman.com
