Shamanic practices have always been a part of our human existence. Though they were once shunned, our world is now opening up to this ancient practice once again. Your local shaman dedicates their life to the well-being of the family, community, and all creations and does so through the ceremony, dance and healing methods passed down from their ancestors. The term “shaman” has recently been generalized throughout western society, and we now find it difficult to differentiate between western and eastern shamanic practices. However, regardless of the origin of the shaman, they all share a mutual respect and connection with nature. This commune with nature is the foundation of their spiritual practice, and it allows them to create internal and external harmony with all “creations” and “relations.”
