Why the Hottest Word in Religion is 'Shaman' |
October 29, 2014 |

Shamanism--the ancient art of healing by entering an altered state of consciousness--has become a powerful spiritual buzzword. There are workshops, therapy sessions, seminars, and $2,000 shamanic healing trips to the Amazon. You can diet with the Shamanic Juice Fast, wear shaman-chic couture or join a Meetup group like "Tribe of Beltway Shamans." Two experts from the South American shamanic tradition join us to explain what Shamanism is--and isn't--and why it's enjoying a cultural revival. ​From March 2014.
