What They're Saying

Critics Review

“The stuff of anthropological bestsellers … a flight of serious fancy, confounding our categories of fiction and nonfiction.”

“The stuff of anthropological bestsellers … a flight of serious fancy, confounding our categories of fiction and nonfiction.” * New York Times *
“Interspersed with direct journal excerpts, the story is told with a rich mix of narrative, mythic and colloquial images. Given the transitional nature of Villoldo’s experience, his is an excellent story to serve as an introduction for the uninitiated to the belief system and cultural traditions of the Quechua masters.” * Talking Leaves *

He founded and directs the Energy Medicine School at The Four Winds Society, and teaches energy medicine to thousands of nurses, physicians, psychotherapists and lay persons every year.
