This group is devoted to the living path of Shamanism, a sacred practice of threshold crossing, spiritual guidance, and inner transformation. Found across the world in Indigenous and ancestral traditions, Shamanism is the art of moving between realms in service of healing, harmony, and truth. Shamans and spirit-walkers enter altered states to engage with guides, ancestors, and natural intelligences, retrieving lost knowledge, tending to the soul, and restoring energetic balance.

Use of Sacred Substances in Healing in the forum The Shamanic Path: Initiation, Spirit, and Healing 1 day, 4 hours agoYeah, I’ve done a few journeys always with friends, but I usually end up walking off by myself for a while. Just to get in my own head, you know? Last time I did, I sat by a creek for like an hour just feeling everything. It’s hard to explain, but it’s like the world breathes different when you’re really in it. Everything slows down, and stuff I…[Read more]

What has been your most powerful experience in non-ordinary reality? in the forum The Shamanic Path: Initiation, Spirit, and Healing 1 day, 4 hours agoYeah… a backpacking trip changed me. My buddy passed a couple years back. I didn’t really know how to deal, so one day I just packed my gear and went out alone for four days, no phone, no distractions. Just me and the woods.
The second night, something happened. I’d hiked deep into this canyon, nowhere near a trail. Made camp, got a fire going…[Read more] -

My trips are spiritually healing for me. Somehow it helps me shred all the negativity in my life and refocus on what I can and cannot change and whats the best path forward. My first time was completely magical. It opened up my mind, it made me one with the world. Made…[Read more]

Use of Sacred Substances in Healing in the forum The Shamanic Path: Initiation, Spirit, and Healing 3 days, 18 hours agoYeah. I’ve sat with a few things, mushrooms mostly. First time wasn’t fancy. Just me, the woods, and a lotta questions I didn’t know I had. But it cracked me wide open. Felt like the Earth itself was speakin. Showed me the parts of myself I’d buried just to get by. Thing is, it ain’t a game. These ain’t party drugs. They’re keys. And if you don’t…[Read more]

I remember the hit, the sound, then nothing. Just this quiet. Then I was gone. I saw the Earth from above. Real quiet, real clear. And I saw energy movin all over. Every emotion like a ripple. Folks sendin out anger and fear. It stuck more than the good stuff. Clung to places. Built up o…[Read more]

Have you experienced a crisis that felt like an initiation? in the forum The Shamanic Path: Initiation, Spirit, and Healing 3 days, 19 hours agoYeah. I been through one of those. Wrecked my bike few years back. Wasn’t sure I was gonna make it. One minute I’m flyin down the highway, wind in my face, feelin free. Next thing I know, I’m layin in a ditch starin up at the sky, blood in my mouth, thinkin… so this is it. But it wasn’t.
Something changed after that. Like the world cracked…[Read more] -

What has been your most powerful experience in non-ordinary reality? in the forum The Shamanic Path: Initiation, Spirit, and Healing 5 days, 15 hours agoThere are moments along the shamanic path that change everything—encounters, visions, or revelations that shift our entire worldview. These experiences often happen in non-ordinary states: deep meditation, trance, dreams, or altered journeys. They may defy logic, but they leave a mark that lingers in the body, spirit, and field.
In Netism, t…[Read more]

What methods do you use for journeying? in the forum The Shamanic Path: Initiation, Spirit, and Healing 5 days, 15 hours agoShamanic journeying takes many forms. For some, steady drumming or rattling opens the path. Others use breathwork, lucid dreaming, or guided meditation. In some traditions, sacred plant medicines are allies for accessing deeper dimensions. The common thread is intention and surrender. The conscious mind steps aside so the deeper self can walk…[Read more]

Have you experienced a crisis that felt like an initiation? in the forum The Shamanic Path: Initiation, Spirit, and Healing 5 days, 15 hours agoThe shamanic path is often marked by rupture. Something breaks within or around you, and what once made sense no longer holds. Though these moments are trying, they are also transforming. In the shamanic path, pain is required before one can begin.
Have you lived through a crisis that felt like an initiation? What did it strip away, and what did…[Read more]
