Shamonic therapy is looking at the wound of separation; it is the return to wholeness. The shaman is the midwife who travels to the other world and brings back healing to the world. When we're separated from our truth we need help. Finding purpose in life depends on being authentic. Tools of the shaman include being involved in loving, giving, sharing, and building community; we all have that ability and responsibility. You can't give what you don't have; it is the return to wholeness of self that we must learn, and it requires being authentic and willing to pioneer our way through our life.
