RECAP: “Shamanism vs. Westernism in Healing Ceremonies: Iván Chocrón Bridges Ancient Wisdom with Modern Practices”

In his lecture, “Salvia Divinorum – The Misunderstood Healer,” Christopher shared his knowledge about this potent plant medicine and how it can be utilized for healing, meditation, and deep self-exploration. Salvia, he explained, has a profound capacity to catalyze shifts in consciousness, even at very low doses. With the right guidance, it can help us tap into repressed emotions, resolve trauma, and unlock the depths of our psyche ??.

Christopher’s work as a somatic therapist and inventor of a specialized Salvia pipe has empowered individuals to safely and mindfully explore the plant’s potential for self-discovery. He emphasized that Salvia is not a recreational substance. Instead, with intentional use, this plant can serve as a gentle yet powerful guide on our healing journeys, leading us towards introspection, emotional release, and spiritual transformation ??.

PARTNER POST – “Alpha Myth” Film Kickstarter Campaign

In the midst of a political race with two markedly different styles of leadership, Counterpoint Films is very proud to be launching Alpha Myth, a new project examining and deconstructing the price of patriarchy and toxic masculinity. Ancient wisdom says the “Bird of Humanity” has two wings––one male, one female. When both wings are healthy the bird can soar. But if one dominates at the expense of the other, the bird flies in circles. If you believe it’s time to make a change, please consider supporting the Alpha Myth Movement, which we are launching on Kickstarter to plant the flag and build buzz.
