Bonnie Glass-Coffin

Bonnie Glass-Coffin, Ph.D., is a visionary and a bridge builder who believes that educating the whole person (head and heart) should be at the core of a liberal arts education. She has been inspired to build these bridges because of the transformational experiences that she has had while studying with Peruvian shamans for more than 30 years. She has written about this vision and her experiences of deep personal transformation in academic venues, including Anthropology and Humanism, Anthropology of Consciousness, The International Journal of Transpersonal Studies, and in popular venues, including Shaman’s Drum and Sacred Fire magazine. She has written two books about her work with Peruvian shamanism, The Gift of Life: Female Spirituality and Healing in Northern Peru and Lessons in Courage: Peruvian Shamanic Wisdom for Everyday Life (with don Oscar Miro-Quesada).
