About Bhola

Bhola Nath Banstola is a 27th-generation Dhami–Jhankri Nepali (Jhankri) Shaman from Nepal. His knowledge and practice arise from direct lineage transmission from his grandfather and father, as well as guidance from spirit and human teachers, dream instruction, personal transformative experiences, and the wisdom of nature.

Bhola holds a degree in Cultural Anthropology and has spent many years studying shamanism across the Himalayas, including Nepal, India, Bhutan, and Tibet. He bridges traditional shamanic culture and modern understanding, making the teachings accessible to contemporary seekers while maintaining the integrity of the lineage.

Bhola is visting North America for the first time in many years, and it's a great honor to have his presence in South Vancouver.

This event is hosted on the unceded, ancestral, and traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
