Anja Miraclewalker Sagan is a Shamanic Practitioner and mentor, an emerging filmmaker, author and CEO of Miraclewalker Enterprises.
Her first short film was shown at the, "Rendezvous With Madness Film Festival".
She has been practicing Shamanic healing work since graduating from a 1-year Shamanic Healing certification program from The Medicine Circle in 2013.
After being in a cult for 5 years, Anja fell into severe mental illness, including schizophrenia. In most Shamanic tradition it is believed that mental illness can be an initiation, an awakening of a person's true spiritual power and potential as long as a person.
She believes we all go through difficulties, sometimes even tremendous ones for us to surrender our limiting beliefs and turn to a higher power / Divine guidance.
She knows from personal experience that no matter what a person is going through, there can always be hope even when experts say there isn't. There is hope, even in the darkest places.
