The Role of a Shaman: Exploring Wisdom

In this podcast, Fern Cotton interviews Joe Bolby, the first shaman ever featured on the show. Joe explains that shamans of old were the guides and healers of their tribes, offering wisdom and helping people understand the nature of life. Today, spirituality and wisdom are often overlooked in the modern world, where intellect and the pursuit of analytical knowledge take precedence. Joe encourages listeners to rediscover the value of stillness and imagination, which are often associated with laziness in today's fast-paced society. By embracing stillness, reconnecting with nature and practicing mindfulness, individuals can find meaning and purpose in life.
