SHAMANISM CLASSES
Anthropologists have identified shamanic practices in ancient cultures that date back 40,000 years. Today they exist in indigenous cultures throughout the world, and are becoming more prevalent in today’s modern societies.
Shamanism is much more than a set of practices. It is a way of understanding one’s inter-connectedness to all things.
