Olga Yahontova

Olga Yahontova, also known as Olga Kharitidi, is a trained psychiatrist from Siberia. In search of knowledge hidden within traditional cultures, she has traveled extensively through Europe, Asia, and Africa. Her first book, Entering the Circle, has become a classical introduction to the reality of shamanic practices and has been published in more than twenty countries. Her follow up books continued her exploration of healing stories and presented a radically new approach to the healing of traumas. She has worked as a forensic psychiatrist in a facility for the criminally insane. In addition to her medical background, she has earned a certification from MIT in blockchain and AI technology, preparing her to lead the transition towards digital shamanism. From her interview: "I construct the narratives of my stories to make them sort of a Rosetta Stone for collective imagination, so they become a tool to interpret the matters of the Invisible and to translate its most hidden elements into the matters of everyday life and vise versa." She lives in Santa Fe, NM.
