Mon initiation chez les chamanes : une Parisienne en Mongolie

After discovering the Amazon, recounted in the journal of a trainee chameleon, Corine Sombrun takes part in a Mongolian adventure, guided by a strange desire. There, she realizes with astonishment that she has the aptitude for shamanism. In this new work, she tells of the extraordinary initiation, unique for a Western woman, of which she was a beneficiary. Adopted by the family of Enkhetuya, the shaman charged with teaching her his art, she must first acclimatize herself to the harsh life of the Tsaatan tribe before she can communicate with the spirits. She then discovers cattle raising, life under the tipi, the frost, the closeness, and above all, the humanity of a life without artifice. Over the course of two years, she follows her own path of initiation, encountering a culture, herself, and beyond the limits of perception, her own love and loss, which the duo traverse in this fascinating narrative.
