WELCOME!

This is an ongoing US and global project to help enthusiasts, scholars, practitioners, and curious parties learn more about shamanic living in a contemporary culture. The space here is devoted to sharing info, experiences and opinions about all forms of shamanic expression covering shamanism's multiple permutations. Among subjects explored are traditions, techniques, insights, definitions, events, artists, authors, and creativity. You are invited to draw from your own experiences and contribute.

They were all very fascinating to observe and each quite different.
This also lead me on to check out a few others on youtube.
Each shaman utilized their own blend of ritual, mystery, divinity and heart.

thank you
