A Special Screening of two fascinating documentaries followed by a Q & A on Mongolian Shamanism with the filmmakers, John Lawrence PhD, and Susan Grimaldi.
Shamans of the Reindeer Herders (40 minutes)
A captivating story of a quest to find shamans among a small band of nomadic, reindeer herders, known as the Dukha, who live in one of the most remote and hard to reach areas of Mongolia. The Dukha are among the last nomadic, animal-dependent, self-subsistent cultures remaining in the world.
Siqingua Daur Shaman (30 minutes)
In Inner Mongolia, China, a Daur Shaman of the highest status sees clients in her clinic and demonstrates her ancient, traditional healing approaches, with rare translations from the arcane Daur language into English.

She produced and edited two new documentaries, “Siqingua, Daur Shaman of Inner Mongolia, China”, and, “Tsaatan Shaman Ceremonies of the Reindeer Herders”. She has published numerous articles on her field research, and produced a CD, “Tuvan Shamanic Healing”. She has served as a consultant helping the Chinese government re-integrate shamanism back into contemporary Chinese society. She lives in Vermont where she has a private practice.
