Jon Turk stood naked, balancing on one leg, while Moolynaut, a 100-year-old Siberian shaman asked Kutcha, The Raven, to heal his injured pelvis.
Forty years ago, Jon Turk was a scientist at the University of Colorado. His two-year kayak expedition was listed as one of the top ten sea kayak expeditions of all times.
Framed by high adventure across the vast and forbidding Siberian landscape, The Raven's Gift is a life-altering vision of the ties between the natural and spiritual realms, informed by one man’s awakening and guided by the ancient Spirit Bird with wide black wings and the power to heal.
