"A comprehensive exploration of shamanism and its application to
the needs of our modern times, The Hollow Bone brings clarity to a
word often misused and misunderstood. True to Colleen Deatman's
expressed purpose, her words are a bridge between the worlds and
bring the possibility of Spirit to the collective challenges we all
face. Over the years, I have hoped for a book that demystifies
shamanic work and makes it accessible to a wider audience. This is
that book."--Myron Eshowsky, author of Peace with Cancer: Shamanism
as a Spiritual Approach to Healing; shamanic mediator/trauma
healing activist
"Although ancient, shamanism has never been more important than it
is today. In addition to personal healing, it also holds the key to
healing a planet distressed by human folly. The Hollow Bone is a
magnificent and beautiful guide to this world of power that
combines magic with the true science of nature and offers the hope
of a better world for future generations."--John Perkins, author of
Shapeshifting and the New York Times bestselling Confessions of an
Economic Hitman
"If you've ever wondered what shamanism really is, and how the
practice of this venerable tradition blesses our lives and modern
worldor if you live and work within a shamanic worldview and need a
boostthen consider yourself fortunate to have Colleen's passionate
voice and compassionate nature as 'one who knows' through The
Hollow Bone. Colleen has done a masterful job in showing how
shamanism fits into our world today, why it is important, and how
to find your own way in making this world a better place for all.
Read this book as soon as you can - and 'see the soul of the world
in every rock, stream, bird, and cloud."--Nan Moss and David
Corbin, authors of Weather Shamanism: Harmonizing Our Connection

"In The Hollow Bone, Colleen Deatsman reveals how the ancient ways
of the shaman offer you timetested pathways to the heart and soul
of living in deep wholeness. Stepping back into relationship with
the spirit of yourself, nature and the cosmos can provide you with
a joy that is both lasting and profound!"--Evelyn C. Rysdyk, author
of Modern Shamanic Living: New Explorations of an Ancient Path and
founder of Spirit Passages
"Shamanism was always a word that scared me. It evoked images of
animal spirits entering a person's body-inevitably in a poorly lit
tent deep in the jungle. But the word is increasingly becoming part
of the general spiritual vocabulary in America. And this book was
the perfect way to demystify a word (and set of practices) that is
still poorly understood.Deatsman is the perfect person to write
this beginner's guide to Shamanism. A practicing Sha-woman and an
experienced non-fiction writer, she writes with clarity and
authority. You can tell that she possesses a deep understanding of
Shamanism because she can distill even the most esoteric practices
into concepts that anyone can understand. Each chapter addresses a
vital aspect of understanding Shamanism-the history, the practices,
Shamanism and healing, and so forth. The most profound chapter is
the final one-in which she guides the reader to cultivate their own
healing power and insight into their individual spirits. I would
recommend this book for literally anyone who is interested in
healing and spirituality. Even if Shamanism isn't your calling,
it's vital to understand how different cultures (especially
indigenous communities) practice healing-since so much of our
current understanding of personal and collective healing stems from
Shamanism. Besides, it's a fun read and provides lots of
interesting facts to share with friends and family."--Taz Tagore,
Beliefnet September 2011
"The Hollow Bone is a treasure trove of information on the origins,
symbolism, and history of shamanism, humankind's first spiritual
discipline. But much more than informative, the text is
experiential, guiding the reader through the author's
apprenticeship and initiation into the spirit world of the shaman,
and demonstrates that Spirit is still vibrant and active in our
hearts, as it has been since the beginning of time. A must-read for
everyone journeying on the shaman's path."--Larry Peters, PhD,
Tibetan Shaman and leader of Nepal Spirit Excursions
"Colleen Deatsman is one of the successful pathfinders in the world
of shamanism and speaks with a trustworthy voice. The Hollow
Bone--an inspiring and practical guide--will take you, heart and
soul, into the amazing world of the shaman."--Tom Cowan, author of
Fire in the Head: Shamanism and the Celtic Spirit
