Shamergence is a remarkable memoir and spiritual guide that takes readers on a journey from the world of professional music through a Stage IV cancer diagnosis and into the transformative practice of Inkan shamanism.

Rob Somers weaves together personal story and ancient indigenous wisdom to explore the balan ̑ce of masculine and feminine energy — a balance essential not just for individual healing, but for the healing of our planet.

Drawing on the Inkan cosmological tradition, he offers a roadmap for navigating life's most profound crossroads.

Kirkus Review praised it as "emotionally resonant" and it has been called "the philosophy book you didn't know you needed to read."

A perfect companion for anyone who wants to deepen theirconnection to the land, the tradition, and the wisdom Rob brings to his shamanic work in California's Big Sur overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

Rob Somers is a shaman in the Peruvian tradition and the shaman-in-residence at The Post Ranch Inn in Big Sur, California. Rob finds renewal and continual inspiration in exploring the backcountry of the Ventana Wilderness.

He lives with his wife Amy in the mystical redwoods of Big Sur, where the mountains meet the sea.

Shamergence recounts Rob’s healing journey on the Inkan medicine path, from the dark night of the soul, to receiving a message.

After his diagnosis of stage IV cancer and with only six months to live, Rob Somers appealed to the universe.

From deep within, a voice replied. “It will be very difficult, but if you listen to my voice, you will survive. However, your life belongs to me now; you will walk a path of service.”

Restoring the balance between the masculine and feminine energies within is the key to personal and planetary healing.
