Paul Francis studied philosophy and social anthropology at university, primarily studying tribal (animist) cultures. After graduating in 1979, he variously worked in a hospital teaching sign language, a pre-school nursery, and in an anarchist bookshop. In his spare time, he immersed himself in his real passions, exploring psychotherapy and various different spiritual paths, including shamanism. He set up in private practice as a psychotherapist in the 1980s, and gradually developed a shamanic practice too. In 2007, he founded the Three Ravens College of Therapeutic Shamanism and Core Animism. Although retired from one-to-one work now, he continues to teach and write. In 2017 he published the bestselling book The Shamanic Journey, the first in the “Therapeutic Shamanism” series. This was followed by his second book, Rewilding Yourself, and third book, Soul Roots, Spirit Branches. He is currently working on the fourth and fifth books in the series. He remains very actively involved in teaching courses on many different aspects of animism and shamanism, and in exploring the links between them and modern-day counselling and psychotherapy.
