Shamanism is nothing but a label and can't be summarised in one simple word. In many cultures, a Shaman would be a guardian, someone who weaves a web of light around their community and keeps the people within it healthy and safe.
Throughout the past 16 years, I have had beautiful encounters with the Shamans Agustin Edgar Delgado Orea (from Mexico), Miri Metzlixóchitl (a Mexican Shaman and midwife), the brothers Don Toribio and Don Modesto (from Peru), as well as Amador (from the Peruvian Amazon).
All of them show deep gratitude towards the Earth, our Mother, as well as strong love for her creatures.
