Shamanism for Tough Times
Could shamanic journeying be an empowering spiritual practice for you in these challenging times? Come and hear a free talk about this ancient spiritual practice, and bring any questions you have.
I will give special attention to healing from internalized oppression, the psychology of self-hatred and disempowerment that happens to members of populations targeted by politicians in power, particularly for LGBTQIA+ folks and women, as this is what I know from direct experience.
This talk is ideal for people who:
Are new to cross-cultural shamanism and curious about what it involves;
Are looking for an anti-authoritarian spiritual path that provides an antidote to despair, and will empower and energize you to resist and build healthy alternatives to power-over, domination, cruelty, hatred, and fascism;
Are looking for a spiritual path that has not been used to justify sexism, racism, homophobia, xenophobia, war, violence, genocide, and the greedy destruction of the natural world;
Have noticed that you feel closest to spirituality, and/or a higher power/something larger than yourself, and/or your own most authentic self or Soul, in the natural world -- and want to explore how to integrate this power into your everyday life;
Are drawn to animism, the belief that all nature beings are alive and have consciousness - and that we would do well to treat non-human people with respect, care, and dignity;
Are drawn to indigenous worldviews, but have been severed from your own indigenous traditions and roots;
Have struggled with internalized oppression, and are looking for holistic approaches to healing;
Are interested in the Shamanism for Tough Times retreat I am offering in Mancos, Sept. 5-7, and want to see if this would be a good fit for you.
