About Shamanism
Shamanism is at least 30,000 years old—the oldest known form of healing—and is found in all cultures throughout the world.
At the core of Shamanism is the understanding that everything is alive. Animals, plants, mountains, rivers, weather, and objects have consciousness and are all connected.
Many traditions of Shamanism describe three main realms:
Upper World - where higher spirits, ancestors, and teachers reside
Lower World - often linked to animal spirits and primal wisdom
Middle World - the physical world
One of the most important techniques in Shamanism is the shamanic journey, which transports one through a change in consciousness, from Ordinary Reality into Non-Ordinary Reality — the reality in which everything is alive spiritually. The shamanic journey allows one to part the veils between the seen and unseen worlds to access information and healing that can help awaken us and restore us to wholeness.
“On a shamanic journey, I am guided by Spirit, allowing the essence of healing to unfold naturally. Here, the healing process is not about picking and choosing; it's an intuitive, holistic experience crafted by the wisdom of the Spirit.”
— Heidi Doser
