Media Reviews
"As with Castenada and Redfield, Kharitidi grounds the ancient spiritual teachings of the shamanic tradition as she encountered them. Firmly set within an intriguing, factual contemporary personal narrative, 'Entering the Circle' is one of the very few [such] narratives that provides true insight.

"This absorbing tale of mountain shamanism, radical physics, and practical psychotherapy offers an intriguing look at the world's most religious history."
