ANECDOTE

From Bed Rest To Shamanic Calling

  • Mimi discovered her shamanic path during extended meditation while on bed rest in pregnancy and met spirits that confirmed their reality.
  • That accidental lower-world journey ignited her formal training with a visiting second-generation shamanic practitioner.
INSIGHT

Shamanism As Universal Earth Practice

  • Shamanism is a global human practice connecting people with animals, plants, elements and ancestors across cultures.
  • It's not owned by one region and underlies many traditions like druids and Chinese medicine.
ADVICE

Begin Plant Medicine With Gentle Allies
