'ENTERING THE CIRCLE' Olga Kharitidi
Ancient Secrets of Siberian Wisdom Discovered by a Russian Psychiatrist

When Olga set out on an impetuous journey into the snowbound Altai Mountains of Siberia, she never dreamt that her experience there would shatter and rebuild her view of reality…

25-year-old Olga Kharitidi, a psychiatrist at one of Russia's big institutional hospitals, is visited by a young Siberian who has become sick. Intrigued by his story, she spontaneously agrees to accompany him to the wintry villages and pine forests of Siberia, where his family have for centuries been involved in shamanic healing.

Her trip develops into a magical and sometimes terrifying experience that opens her eyes to the mystical world of Siberian shamans. Witnessing their powers first hand, she discovers deep secrets of healing and magic and encounters revolutionary teachings about the true nature of the human soul. Eventually she returns to her Russian hospital with a whole new view of sickness and healing, and at last feels she can offer real healing to her patients.

"I read ' ENTERING THE CIRCLE' … fascinated by its beauty, intelligence and depth … a perfect balance between rigorous scientific investigation and the mysterious calling of a powerful shamanic world … an unprecedented success."
