“Why Are We Afraid to Die?” on October 22 “Why Shamanism Now?” Radio Show with Host Christina Pratt

Portland, OR, October 20, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Streaming live on the Co-Creator Radio Network on Tuesday, October 22, at 11am Pacific/2pm Eastern on "Why Shamanism Now? A Practical Path to Authenticity,” shaman and founder of the Last Mask Center for Shamanic Healing Christina Pratt notes that the stories we have been told about where we go when we die shape our reality about death. Millions of people are terrified of death because they have been told a story of hell and damnation. Others face death without suffering because they have been told a story of the turning of the great karmic wheel and reincarnation. According to Pratt, the beauty of shamanism is that we can actually go explore what is true underneath these stories that shaped the Old World.

In this episode of “Why Shamanism Now?” titled “Why Are We Afraid to Die?,” Pratt explores cultural stories about death and how to work shamanically in one’s own life to find your fear of death and dispel it. Pratt tells listeners that the idea that we would go anywhere but Home when we die has done great harm to humanity, caused great suffering, and created a logjam of frightened souls between here and the Land of the Dead.

Christina Pratt is a contemporary shaman specializing in mending the soul and transforming the parts of life that feel impossible.
