Evolver Spores: Shamanic Panic

Evolver Spores: Shamanic Panic

Wednesday, October 19

In tribal societies, shamans are healers and visionary leaders who go through dangerous initiations to gain knowledge from the spirit world. Modern culture repressed and dismissed shamanism as archaic and irrational. Today, our society seems increasingly irrational, unable to change its course in the face of looming environmental and economic catastrophe. Meanwhile, shamanic practices such as soul retrieval, journeys with sacred plants, and ecstatic dance are gaining popularity.  This month, 40+ Evolver Spores will explore what meaning and value these techniques have for us today.  Can a reintegration of these practices provide a new framework to address the immense problems facing us?
