Shamanic Panic

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. What meaning and value do these techniques have for us today? During an evening of 'Shamanic Panic', we will discuss, experience, and explore.

Join us around the 4th Street firepit to discuss and explore. Meet other like-minded people. Learn about shamanic societies and healing techniques. Share your experiences. Participate in drumming and chanting to facilitate journeys to other worlds. Contemplate the animistic and shamanic roots of your own deep ancestry.
