Cultural Healing with Anthropologist Bob Vetter

Cultural Healing with Anthropologist Bob Vetter

Join Cultural Anthropologist Robert "Bob" Vetter as we explore the MesoAmerican's approach to shadow work through the experience of a Susto- and how these experiences are believed to cause the soul to leave one's body causing psychological and physical distress that either elevated us and move us forward or take us back into our shadows.

Robert shares his story of how he got onto his path of anthropology and spirituality by not giving up when a door was closed in his face when searching to study under a medicine man within the Comanche tribe, how to fight fire with one's greater inner fire when facing traumas and illness, and has offered us a free gift from his website www.bobvetter.com
