About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Susan Bookman is a shamanic & spiritual healer, ceremonialist, teacher and social development advocate who has lived and thrived in the Sacred Valley of Peru since 2005.
Susan embarked on her healing journey in 1982 when she began experiencing intense night visions and sleep paralysis episodes. This continued for over ten years and culminated in a series of involuntary kundalini awakenings that energetically and psychically brought her to her knees. After years of integration, it became clear that Susan possesses keen empathic, intuitive and healing abilities - traits that, had she not gone through what she did, may have never come into her awareness.
Her training and accolades in the healing and shamanic arts include:
• Advanced Pachakuti Mesa Tradition Practitioner. Ongoing since 2003.
• Hampicamayoq & Ayahuascera, trained and authorized by Los Grandes y Sagrados Angeles Cordilleranos, Cusco, Peru. Ongoing since 2007.

• Oracle & Sound Healer, through the Oracle School & Community of Jennifer Posada in the areas of Self Love, Finding Your Gifts & Voice, Manifestation, Empowerment, Sacred and Interdimensional Communications. 2010-2012. (Additional training & study through the work of her step-father Tom Kenyon).
• Pranic Healing Practitioner, trained by the Institute for Inner Studies, founded by Grand Master Choa Kok Sui, in Advanced Pranic Healing, Pranic Crystal Healing, Psychic Self-Defense, Pranic Psychotherapy, Kriyashakti and Achieving Oneness with the Higher Soul. 2009-2010.

• Other related study, practice, experience and contemplation. Ongoing.
Susan also holds an Masters of Arts Degree in International Communications & Development from the American University School of International Service in Washington, DC and has significant experience in sustainable development particularly in insular economies and environments. In addition to Peru, she has lived, studied and worked in Europe, Asia, Africa and other parts of South America.
