July 18, 2017: This trip took place between June 25th through July 11. A shamanic journey. I have just begun to process its many ramifications in my life.

June 23, 2017

On my way outta here “for the time being”!

POST TRIP:

Siberia!

Mongolia!

Re-Entry Blues: Militarism vs. Mother Earth

Siberia/Mongolia: Of Purges, Magic, and the Mundane

Mostly Mongolia: Of Yurts, Horses, Cell Phones — and a Parade

Siberia, political overlays upon a wild land: Lenin’s head, Our heads and hearts, Trump and Putin, Views from the road

Siberia/Mongolia: Starting Over with J.K. (Lilith) Canepa

Siberia/Mongolia: Original intention manifested

Mongolia — and yurt life: Personal reflections from 1987

We witness the Ceremony of Mare’s Milk early on in our journey — and then finally, on our last evening together, drink some!

Siberia/Mongolia: My emerging God intoxication

Siberia/Mongolia, plus New York/InDiana: My emerging God intoxication, part 2

Siberia/Mongolia Interlude: Between the first 12 posts and the final 3 posts

Siberia: Blessed by an encounter with “the spirit of the place”

Siberia: Lake Baikal via hastily improvised Plan B that worked perfectly. Shaman ceremony, visits with another shaman and a Buddhist monk; methane spring
