Ever since the dawn of human history, tribes and communities have had shamans. A shaman is a person who is profoundly aware that the world is alive with spirits and spiritual energy, and who does something with that knowledge.

Shamans dedicate their lives to their vocation. They sacrifice themselves for their people and spend many years acquiring knowledge and skills that take even longer to comprehend.

The word “Shaman” comes from the tradition of the Tingus tribe of Siberia, and means: "a healer & magician."He or she recognizes that the spirits of the mountains, the rivers, the ancestors, and all of the other spirits who share our world are available to us here and now.

Shamans study the ways of the “old people” and of those who have gone before us, and finds ways to communicate with the spirits all around them. They learn to travel among the spirits by entering into a trance state. They ask the spirits for help with healing, and learn to understand and assist the dance of life, the great dance of which we are all part.

Shamanism has been practiced for tens of thousands of years in North America, South and Central America, Greenland, Africa, The Pacific, Europe, Australia, Siberia, Russia, the Far East, and in classical times in the Middle East.
