Who we are
Welcome, and thank you for visiting ShamanPortal!
ShamanPortal reaches thousands of people worldwide every month. Everyone is welcome to write, connect, link, post, sponsor, and be heard. My great hope is that ShamanPortal will inspire true collaboration and respect, mutual learning, and greater support for the preservation of traditions and practices that are now more relevant to our time than ever before. This site was created to help strengthen the global Shamanic community. It is a platform, a meeting point, and a hub for practitioners and organizations of every Shamanic stream to share their important work with the widest audience possible.
In the summer of 1994 I experienced a moment of divine intervention. I was on my way to Kalani on the Big Island of Hawaii to teach Goals Setting and movement therapy. As the car waited to take me to the airport, I picked up Hank Wasselman's book Spirit Walkers. The book changed my life (Mahalo Hank!). A few months later I decided to take Michael Harner's, John Perkins', and Nan & David's workshops at the NY Open Center. I had begun my life's work.
In 1997 I traveled with John Perkins and Dream Change to the Andes and the Shuar tribe in the heart of the Ecuadorian Amazon jungle. There I made a promise, in a plant vision, to the spirit of the jungle. I promised to help it survive the onslaught of the encroaching Western civilization, to help preserve its vast spiritual and medicinal knowledge and the keepers of its wisdom.
Thank you for taking an interest in ShamanPortal. Join us for the sake of the next generations.
Blessings,
