Incredible Photographs Of The Shaman Gathering In Siberia

Spiritual leaders from different corners of the globe gathered for the ‘Call of 13 Shamans’, a four-day festival held near the village of Khorum-Dag in the Tyva Republic.

It is the centre point of the Asian continent and an area that is said to have high spiritual ‘charge’. This festival coincides with natural cosmic cycles and its purpose is to help maintain harmony between humanity and the universe.

The group of shamans, who travelled from countries including Mexico, Mongolia, Greenland, Russia and Korea, began by trekking to isolated locations for three days of meditation before performing a number of ceremonies – many of which originated in prehistory.
