- (1888PressRelease) September 13, 2013 - Streaming live on the Co-Creator Radio Network on Tuesday, September 17, at 11am Pacific/2pm Eastern on "Why Shamanism Now? A Practical Path to Authenticity," shaman and founder of the Last Mask Center for Shamanic Healing Christina Pratt addresses the questions: What is it really, creatively, effectively like to do good shamanic work these days? How do you manage the demand that every class, ritual, and ceremony be offered online? Where do you draw the line between the old ways that actually worked and the new needs driving our shamanic practices to innovate? Pratt notes that shamanism has adapted through the ages so that it remains a vital and effective option to heal that which wounds us, our families and our environment.
In this episode of "Why Shamanism Now?" titled "The Tribe of the Modern Mystic," neoshaman and author of Gift of the Dreamtime: Awakening to the Divinity of Trauma, Kelley Harrell joins Pratt for an exploration of the ins and outs and ups and downs of tending our non-local, shamanic communities. Harrell has served her local community in North Carolina and an international client base since 2000 through Soul Intent Arts.
Harrell talks to Pratt as part of a series of "Why Shamanism Now?" interviews sponsored by the Society of Shamanic Practitioners. Throughout this series, Pratt explores how contemporary shamans are meeting the challenge of their world where the relations of things-the living and the dead, the humans and nature, and the technological world and the spirit world-are profoundly out of balance. It is the ancient role of the shaman in all cultures to tend the balance of things, and the question is asked: how are these shamans meeting this extraordinary need today?
