I have beel looking at places such as spirit quest and anotyher one also, can't remember name, but i was wondering of any people who have done this for advice....one thing that worries me, is the money. it is not the amount, it is the principle, that this pure religion would accept payment, would the true shamans not do this? any advice appreciated, looking for a year long vegetalista diet, a life changing experience is what i have heard and seem to understand....

All christians please do not bother with your answers.. this may sound rude, but you do not have a clue as to what i am talking about, and what shamanism is. i know my truth, from before i knew anything about shamanism, i had experienced what you call god and know of this force, through me experiences i have now come to this point, and is something i will do. proffesors of science have been to ayahuasca rituals, and come back more enlightened and carry on in their professions. drug addicted people go and are cured and enlightened and relaise significance in thos world. Do not tell me to go to church, this god you talk of is everywhere, it is us, everything is at one. i do not want to be told what is right and wrong, i do not want to read a book. i already have, and want to carry on with experiemcing the spirit of nature through myself and these forces, with someone to guide me. the amazon is the life force of earth, these people communicate with this, whilst you pray wirth no return.

My best advice is don't go through it as many people had died during those practises. I can tell because I'm Peruvian and recently I've seen in the newspaper a guy who died because he drank sth the shaman told him was going to clean his soul or sth.
Of course we have real shamans just look for an experienced one and of course, that isn't fake!

In the 3rd millennium B.C. the civilization of Mohendo-jaro flourished near the Indus River in what is now Pakistan. Populated by the Dravidians, archaeolgists have discovered they had a polytheistic fertility religion that centered upon worship of the forces of nature and use of rituals, merging human sexuality with the hope for abundant crops. The Aryans conquered these people around 2000 B.C. and gave their god's new names while retaining their old functions. The Aryans wrote down their hymns, prayers, mythic stories and chants into the Vedas, Brahamanas, Aranyakas and Upanishads known as the Vedic lieterature. This formulated the foundation for Hinduism.
During this time, the Lord God Jehovah was establishing a new covenant to Abraham through his son Isaac, destroying a wicked Sodom and Gomorrah and interacting with His people in a real way with promises that have spanned thousands of years.
If you want a "real" experience, go to a Bible believing church tomorrow and accept Jesus into your heart and life and you'll experience who God really is and save alot of money in the process.

First of all a shaman is one that God condemns in the bible and should not be consulted with under penalty of death. I would stay as far as I could from that deal and get with a church group instead that will work on spreading the Gospel. Any true man of God will not charge for what he does or for any advice he would give you and a shaman is not a man of God but is of Satan. If you go ahead with it, you may be very sorry you did.

The 1st two links are for shaman retreats and workshops in the US. The 3rd link is for a shaman retreat in Peru.
I hope you find these helpful
Good Luck to you.

Satan will tell you anything to keep you from a relationship with GOD.

Why? There are no spirits. Those people are quacks, and frequently dangerous quacks.

How can you say that all advice is appreciated, then Christians give you their advice and you shoot us down?
