Guest guest Posted September 17, 1999 Report Share Posted September 17, 1999 The list I belong to is based in the UK, and is on ONElist. You can read the description of the list by visiting /community/AJourneyToYou-Shaman The owner of the list is a very special person, Ross Heaven, who offers an online course in shamanism as well (I'll forward that information to the list also).
