Soul Retrieval is a widely used technique today due to the Book Soul Retrival bringing the technique to the forefront of thought in the field. ==Bibliography== * ''Welcome Home: Following Your Soul's Journey Home (paperback, 1994) ISBN 978-0062502674 * ''A Fall to Grace'' (paperback, 1997) ISBN 978-0965503402 * ''Medicine for the Earth: How to Transform Personal and Environmental Toxins'' (hardcover, 2001) ISBN 978-0609805176 * ''Yearning for the Wind: Celtic Reflections on Nature and the Soul'' (paperback, with Tom Cowan, 2003) ISBN 978-1577314110 * ''Shamanic Journeying: A Beginner's Guide'' (hardcover, 2004) ISBN 978-1591791515 * ''Soul Retrieval: Mending the Fragmented Self'' (paperback, with [[Michael Harner]]) 2006) ISBN 978-0061227868 * ''How to Heal Toxic Thoughts: Simple Tools for Personal Transformation'' (hardcover, 2007) ISBN 978-1402742606 ==Filmography== * ''Listen With Your Heart: Sandra Ingerman on Shamanism, Healing & Nature'' (film, 150 mins, 2008, The Center for Healing Arts <ref> [http://thecenterforhealingarts.com/sandra_dvd.php Directed and Edited by Victor Demko - Film Synopsis, The Center for Healing Arts] </ref>) ==Discography== * ''Miracles for the Earth'' (audio CD, 2005) ISBN 978-1591792017 ==References== {{reflist}} ==Notes== *[http://shamansdrum.org/Pages/BackIssues.html Shaman's Drum Journal] Issue No. 50: Interview with Sandra Ingerman *[http://www.novazine.com.au/article_archive/2007/07_08_HonouringEveryday.htm Nova Australian Holistic Journal] Honouring the Everyday: Sacred Nourishment (accessed 2/4/08) *Shamanic Healing: We Are Not Alone - An Interview of [[Michael Harner]] by Bonnie Horrigan, Shamanism Magazine, Spring/Summer 1997, Vol. 10, No. 1 (Harner talks about Ingerman and the importance of her work in soul retrieval) ===External links=== *[http://www.sandraingerman.com Sandra Ingerman's Website] *[http://www.medicinefortheearth.com/ Medicine for the Earth] *[http://www.shamanicteachers.com Shamanic Teachers Certified in Core Shamanism or related areas] *[http://thecenterforhealingarts.com/sandra_dvd.php DVD Film titled ''Listen With Your Heart: Sandra Ingerman on Shamanism, Healing & Nature'' 150 mins 2008] *[http://authorviews.com/authors/ingerman/video.php AuthorViews video interview about Medicine for the Earth] *[http://www.authorviews.com/authors/ingerman3/excerpt.php Excerpt from "[[How to Heal Toxic Thoughts]]"] *{{worldcat id|lccn-n91-18759}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Ingerman, Sandra}} [[Category:Neoshamanism]] [[Category:New Age authors]] [[Category:Mind-body interventions]] [[Category:Metaphysics writers]] [[Category:American spiritual writers]] [[Category:Year of birth missing (living people)]] [[Category:Living people]] [[Category:American animists]]
