Jon Turk stood naked, balancing on one leg, while Moolynaut, a 100 year old Siberian shaman chanted in the ancient tongue, asking Kutcha, The Raven, to heal his broken and damaged pelvis. But first, she told him, he had to believe. Believe in what? Forty years ago, Jon Turk was a scientist at the University of Colorado . For Earth Day 1, 1970, he co-authored the first environmental science textbook in North America . But even as he continued a successful academic career, he wandered the great oceans, mountain ranges, and tundras of the globe.

Believe in what? He wondered. Join Jon for an evening of self-discovery. 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.
