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.

This new edition includes four downloadable audio tracks in which Jeff teaches basic shamanic journeying skills with background drumming and narrated journeys. The book is available for purchase here.
