7 Day 5 Shamanic Ceremonies with Maestro Alberto Davila and Malcolm Rossiter
Blue Morpho Traditional Shamanism tours.
The Traditional Shamanism tours are designed to explore the depths of the traditional jungle style of participating in a visionary medicine ceremony, all the talks during the day are based on the dualities of the spiritual worlds. And then each night, using time-honoured icaros we travel around the spirit realms as the natives have for generations.
In the Basic Traditional Shamanism tours we explore the fundamentals of what Shamanism is about and how westerners can relate to the dualistic realms of good and bad, dark and light as well as opening the spaces to communicate with the plant medicine spirits.
In the Intermediate Traditional Shamanism tours we take the journey within the spirit worlds to a deeper level of communications and relationships.
It is not necessary to have completed a basic tour before doing the intermediate, however if you haven’t attended the basic course we recommend you read a few books or explore some sites on the internet to get an understanding of traditional shamanism.
