In this episode, I welcome my shamanic mentor, Scott Silverston, to the podcast. Scott, founder of Shamanic Spirit Medicine, shares his journey from corporate life to international shamanism teacher. We discuss the core principles of shamanism, the importance of self-care, and healing trauma. Scott emphasizes ethical practices in the healing arts and gives advice on discerning spiritual guidance. This episode covers maintaining integrity, identifying spiritual manipulation, and the power of trusting intuition.
