Living with the Arctic Peoples

Living with the Arctic Peoples
Two masters degrees, Fulbright scholar in Denmark, ordained priest, avid photographer, author, ice painter, nurse practitioner in remote villages of Alaska, university teacher. It's hard to imagine that's all one woman, but it is indeed Irene Sullivan. What's even more interesting is that Irene's story barely begins there. After years of serving indigenous people in Alaska, her experiences with indigenous people led her to a deep interest in the role of women in shamanic practices among arctic peoples. In this deep conversation about "understanding of the heart", Irene shares some memorable insights from a life long of learning.
