The internet announcements attracted to the 'East' club 40 'pupils' ranging from an art-director of an advertizing firm to a driver. 70 dollars' price for a 12-hours-long indulgement into the Tuvan culture, history, shamanic practices and Tuvan khoomei they considered a cheap one for such an interesting 'journey' to Tuva. Oorzhak started as a throat-singer in the 'Tyva' ensemble in the late 80-ties later on devoting himself to shamanism. His seminars are now quite popular in Saint-Petersbourg, Kiev and Moscow. After Moscow he is heading for Ukraine.
