Dwight Harriman announces the launch of Becoming Shaman: Volume One Beginnings, the first book in a planned trilogy that documents his path into shamanic practice.

Harriman, known professionally as the Atlanta Shaman, has more than 25 years’ experience working in contemporary shamanism. The book presents the first of 143 steps in the process of becoming a shaman and combines storytelling, spiritual teachings and original photography drawn from Harriman’s personal journey and his work with guides, deities and spirit animals.

The narrative blends humor and insight as Harriman recounts lessons learned through direct spiritual experience. As one passage notes, “If you’ve ever wondered if Spirit Guides have a sense of humor, this book will answer that question in the affirmative.” The book also features award-winning photographs of the natural world, ranging from large wildlife to close-up images of water, plants and light.
