QuoteFrequently Asked Questions
What is shamanism?
Shaman is a word derived from the Tungus word [rest of sentence omitted here because of accents and diacritical marks.]
Shaman has become a blanket word referring to indigenous ceremonial leaders, medicine people, and healers. Shamanic belief systems are characterized by common attributes, like the recognition that all things are connected, and people that use non-ordinary consciousness to 'travel' or commune with the unseen aspects of reality or spirit world in order to gain knowledge, wisdom, and power. In this way, shamanism dates back at least 40,000 years with each Indigenous culture or tribe expressing its own unique and individual cosmology and epistemology.
What is shamanic education?
Shamanic education from the perspective of this organization is about demonstrating the validity and critical importance of Indigenous knowledge and philosophy. We strive to demonstrate that the contributions of Indigenous philosophies, wisdom, and practices of the world has yet to be fully explored and appreciated, and we seek to lift up and amplify Indigenous voices. With the understanding that shamanism is a blanket term, we work to support each tribe in its own unique identity and lineage. We collaborate with these tribes as they determine their own course of continuation and dissemination of knowledge.
What does "Exchange" refer to?
We seek to connect Indigenous people of many cultures so they can exchange ideas and wisdom for the benefit of their tribes and for humanity. We work to replace the involuntary and disempowering practice of appropriation with the empowering and voluntary act of exchange. The Center recognizes that shamanism has its roots in Indigenous ancestry, and by watering that forest, each tree will flourish.

QuoteWe are honored to be able to offer Indigenous artisan crafts and unique, handmade art works of the communities we support. Each item is uniquely created with the intentions of connecting with and honoring spirit allies, and carries with it the protection and blessings of these allies.
Items include:
Shipibo Conibo Kene - The Shipibo Conibo, Indigenous people of the Ucayali river basin in South America, live in close relationship to the Earth, to nature, to the weather, to the river and water, and to the rich and diverse plant and animal life that surrounds them. Their Icaros, the sacred songs that embody healing vibrations of nature, plants, and allies are a foundational part of their healing traditions. From a Shipibo view, the healing vibrations of these icaros are both sound and geometric patterns, with every design carrying its own specific meaning.
The designs of the patterns of icaros are reproduced and painted on Shipibo houses, boats, and tools, or hand stitched into colorful, intricate embroidered clothes and cloths. This allows the medicine of the icaro songs, and the healing vibrations they hold, to also be received by seeing and wearing these designs. These designs, or kene, hold powerful healing properties that connect with helping spirits and support health, love, success, good protection, happiness, and more.
We also feature Shipibo crafted gourd rattles. Rattles are used to break up static energy and to call in power, energy, and allies. These rattles are hand-carved with traditional design patterns.
Select the rattle or song cloth with the healing vibration you are looking for to welcome their blessings, while also sharing support for the preservation of Indigenous traditions.

Wixáriika Huichol Yarn Painting and Bead Artwork - For the Wixáritari, or Huichol people, Indigenous to the Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range of Central Mexico, the beliefs and traditions of their ancestors are still alive and present in their rituals and practices. In their exquisite artisanal crafts are depictions of their history, development, and creation story. Many of these crafts include intricate designs and symbols representing the powerful spirits and allies who are deeply meaningful in the Wixarika cosmology.
