Abstract
This paper describes the experience of transcendence or trance (!KIA) in which healing takes place. The particular focus of the study is the !Kung's education for transcendence: how they learn to have, or better to accept transcendence, how it is induced through frenzied daancing, and how it functions in the healing process
