Das weisse Land der Seele

Siberia; Early nineties: The Russian doctor Olga Kharitidi leaves her clinic in Novosibirsk to travel to the Altai Mountains with her sick friend Anna to meet the shamans living there. After a long march through the snow-covered mountains of Siberia, the two exhausted women learn that perhaps all their efforts have been in vain: the KAMS - as the shamans in Altai call themselves - live far from any civilization and avoid encounters with strangers. It becomes all the more exciting for Olga and Anna when they are finally granted entry into the hidden world of the last Siberian shamans. The healer Umaj becomes Olga's great mentor, sharing her ancient secret wisdom with the young, modern scientist. In her book, Olga Kharitidi reveals the secrets of a millennia-old culture and shares her experiences.
