The Jim Fortin Podcast Ep 380: Who Is Don Xavier, The Shaman, pt. 2
In part two of this deeply personal series, Jim Fortin continues to explore the mystery and wisdom of Don Xavier, the shaman and spiritual teacher who has profoundly shaped Jim’s life and work. After receiving overwhelming feedback from part one, Jim returns with more extraordinary stories—many never shared before—offering listeners a rare glimpse into the spiritual teachings, experiences, and insights he’s gained over decades of walking this transformational path.
This episode is packed with powerful anecdotes—from ceremonies under the stars in sacred lands to dreamtime revelations that defy logic. Jim dives deeper into what it means to walk the path of awareness, the dangers of over-identifying with the analytical mind, and the spiritual significance behind everyday and extraordinary events. He also shares text messages from Don Xavier that point to the core of what true shamanism is: merging with the “All,” or Anima Mundi.
If you’re ready to open your heart, quiet your mind, and awaken to a reality beyond 3D logic, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

Transformational Takeaway
There’s more to life than meets the eye—and it’s not what you think. The more we try to figure everything out, the more we distance ourselves from true wisdom. Growth begins when we quiet the analytical mind and return to the stillness of observation, connection, and trust in the unknown. As Don Xavier teaches, your mind is not your brain—real transformation starts when you stop thinking and start seeing.
