Shame is a crippling emotion that can be exploited. Those who feel threatened by our power often use it as a weapon, and we can take that power back.
Fear permeates our personal lives as well. It can cripple emotional intimacy if we let it, much like it is undermining our country’s ability to unite...
Many people are turning to shamanic healing when the allopathic approach has failed them. Andean shamanism is a way to ground the magic of plant medicine in everyday life.
