Jeff's Book
The Lost Art of Heart Navigation: A Modern Shaman's Field Manual collects all the basic information, teachings, and exercises that Jeff uses in his Fire Talk counseling work and teaching programs. He wrote it as a comprehensive self-help resource for general audiences, his own clients, and anyone interested in nature-based cultures, spirituality and indigenous healing traditions. This new edition includes four downloadable audio tracks in which Jeff teaches basic shamanic journeying skills with background drumming and narrated journeys.
