10:15-11:00… Ariel Serre & Jamey Sherfy - The Role of Shamanism in Central and South America
Throughout the world a number of populationsoften geographically isolated have kept their healing traditions alivefor millennia. To the anthropologists, botanists and psychologists whohave come in contact with many of these groups, these cultures havebeen gold mines of ancient wisdom of spiritual and healing knowledge.Shamanism is believed to be the most ancient form of spiritual practiceby man: a nature based animist non dogmatic form of religion.Cross culturally shamans are often seen as a bridge between thephysical and the spiritual worlds. They share the worldview that allliving being are related and that we are interconnected with everythingin the cosmos. Their functions vary but always involve thesupernatural: they are humanity's first healer and the wisdom keepersof cultures with great knowledge of medicinal plants.
Becauseshamanism still exists today and lasted throughout all major social andpolitical changes from band to state society during thousands of years,we might wonder how these ancient practices managed to survive intomodern times and why? At the dawn of an ecological holocaust we canwonder if Christianity a patriarchal religion brought duality inspirituality that caused the loss of sacredness for our environment.Is it possible that the role of indigenous shamans of Latin America isto provide a sustainable model to restore the delicate balance betweenthe excess of patriarchy and the ancient feminine traditions full ofwisdom, by teaching us to co-operate rather than compete? You willexplore more about this fascinating topic in this workshop.

“…theuniverse is whole. All of nature is interconnected and interdependent -a holosphere. Each of us contains the seed essence of the rose and theuniverse. We are in consciousness a small cosmos. Ancient wisdom andmodern science both agree on this. Look at a human DNA molecule, to thehuman naked eye it's the same as the DNA of a tree and of a worm…. wecannot know anything outside of our consciousness. To know how a treegrows and we know how it does, then we know 'treeness' withinourselves. To know that seasons change is to know that you move throughsimilar cycles in your own life…. And the truth, according to thescience of physics, is that we are inseparable in consciousness fromthat which we view. There is no division between the viewer and theviewed. We are what we see, the stars and even the slugs. Nature as ourmirror reveals us to be fascinating, prodigious and complete beings.And so we remember who we are and when we remember, we rememberourselves, put ourselves together and become whole and all of who weare.” From the Green Wisdom Cards
