Hi,

You just can give a call to the President of the Tuvan Society of Shamans, Mongush Borahovich Kenin-Lopsan, tel: (39422)30960. He is very old and sometimes moody.

Tuva Shaman

Hello and thank you for the very insightful information on this website.

I am hoping that someone can help me with my enquiries. I work for a publication that is trying to locate contact details for Shamans in Tuva, particularly the President of the Tuvan Society of Shamans or a representative. This is in regards to writing an article to promote their work in a new publication. We are also trying to locate further information about the Buryat Shamanic Gathering that takes place annually on Olkhon Island in Baikal. If you are unable to assist in any way, please let me know if there is anyone else that you feel I should make enquiries to. Thank you!
