What is Shamanism?
Shamanism is the most ancient form of spiritual practice, dating all the way back to the first human to walk the Earth. It is an ancient tradition that utilizes the forces of Nature to commune with spirits. It uses a wide variety of tools such as the elements, the trees, the rocks, plant medicines, ceremony, music, dance & celebration to induce an altered state of perception for personal transformation. It uses prayer, ceremony and magick as ways of reaching the divine.
