Shamanic Healing Questionnaire

One of the on-going projects in the FSS Shamanism and Health Program is to collect, study, and archive reports of healing and cures following shamanic treatment of physical, emotional, and mental disorders.

Your report can make a difference in our understanding of these phenomena. As research progresses we expect to share the results of these findings for the benefit of those seeking and offering shamanic treatment.

If you have experienced such a miracle or have done shamanic healing work with positive results for another, please take the opportunity to complete the form below now. Complete what you can. Anything will be useful.

Please be certain you have consent to disclose the name and other personal information about those for whom you have worked as a shamanic practitioner, if you include such information. Your report will be kept confidential. It is for the use of the research staff only.

Thank you for your willingness to contribute to this valuable resource.

Note: This Questionnaire is not for those seeking shamanic healing. If you are seeking shamanic healing, please refer to the Shamanic Services Listings for a list of FSS members engaged in shamanic healing/divination practices in your area. (FSS offers this service to its members and to the public, but cannot endorse or guarantee the work of any of its members offering shamanic healing.)
