What is Shamanism?

Shamanism is not a religion. It is not bound to one culture. It is practiced by many cultures across the world.

Shamanism is a set of techniques utilized to access the spirit realms for healing, for self and community. Community includes the stone people, the tree people, the ocean people, the people in the sky and under the earth, the winged people and the four-legged people as well as the people who live in the faerie mounds, co-created by ourselves and the elements.

Shamanism is a world view, that everything on this planet counts. Everything and every being holds the sacred. That we are not separate from nature - and certainly not nature's guardian. We are part of nature. We are flesh and blood, bone and dirt. We breathe, we think, we do, we commune and all of these things are affected by and affect all other things.

We find our place in this magnificent web and we find joy, we find love and healing. We find responsibility, to self, others and planet.
