Martin Brennan to Discuss "Shamanism and Life" on August 17 "Why Shamanism Now?" Radio Show
On her radio show "Why Shamanism Now? A Practical Path to Authenticity,” teacher, author, and founder of the Last Mask Center for Shamanic Healing Christina Pratt talks to shamanic practitioner Martin Brennan - the show’s most popular guest - about the universal and important life lessons he learned through shamanism.
Portland, OR, August 11, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Streaming live on the Co-Creator Radio Network (www.co-creatornetwork.com) on Tuesday, August 17, at 11 a.m. Pacific time/2 p.m. Eastern time, on her show "Why Shamanism Now?: A Practical Path to Authenticity,” shaman and founder of the Last Mask Center for Shamanic Healing Christina Pratt asks the question: What are the powerful and precise teachings about living life that we learn from the practice of shamanism? The show’s most popular guest, shamanic practitioner Martin Brennan, joins Pratt to share the universal and important life lessons he has learned from shamanism.
In this episode of “Why Shamanism Now?” titled “Shamanism and Life”, Martin reviews the five things that are necessary for a robust and rich life filled with laughter, good work, and good relationship. These are: 1) The balance of focus and surrender, humility and empowerment, needed for successful shamanic journeying is precisely the stance needed to enter in to right relationship with others and ultimately the self. 2) Sacrifice is essential to engage spirit in the discovery of your true calling. 3) If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing in ritual, which allows depth in transformation and expression. 4) There is incredible power in the spirit world to help you, but you must ask. And finally, 5) use your life to transform you; that’s what it’s there for. This week’s show continues a summer “blockbuster” series in which Pratt and occasional guests look at what shamanism has to teach us about the big issues—death, life, love and sex.
Christina Pratt is an authentic, non-traditional contemporary shaman. In practice since 1990, she specializes in mending the soul and transforming the parts of life that feel impossible. A teacher of exceptional clarity, humor, and inspiration, Pratt brings the power of shamanism into the practical grasp of anyone willing to take responsibility for improving the quality of their life. Her well-received book, An Encyclopedia of Shamanism (Rosen), is an 800-page, two-volume set with over 750 in-depth entries that clearly discuss the basic concepts of shamanism, methods, and traditions of over 50 different shamanic peoples. Pratt is the founder of the Last Mask Center for Shamanic Healing in Portland, OR, and New York, NY, creator of the original Foundations of Shamanism and Shamanic Healing course at the University of Minnesota, and a frequent and honored speaker for the American Holistic Medical Association.
Martin Brennan is a shamanic practitioner who possesses a deep commitment to helping people (including himself) remember how to feed their love, starve their fears, and live boldly. Brennan has studied spirituality and leadership for over 20 years. These dual passions have led him to serve as a Peace Corps volunteer, work with street children in the developing world, earn a MA in Creation Spirituality form Naropa University, work as a Diversity and Leadership Trainer in corporate America, and travel to over 40 countries on six continents. Brennan has also studied, practiced and instructed the principles of shamanism for the past 12 years. For the past 10 years, Brennan has assisted the Cycle of Transformation Retreats with shaman Christina Pratt of Last Mask Center for Shamanic Healing. He is the first and only apprentice in line to teach this path of shamanic awakening to power and heart. Brennan believes firmly that each and every one of us brings a unique gift to this world and the responsibility to cultivate it, hone it, and share it openly.
