Portland, OR, March 12, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Streaming live on the Co-Creator Radio Network on Tuesday, March 18, 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 asks the question: What will it take for men and women to return from their respective circles, respective retreats on the mountain, and respective “Wisdom Schools” and begin to seriously work together to create a world our descendants will be happy and proud to inherit?

In this week’s episode of “Why Shamanism Now?” titled “Adults in a Culture of Children,” Pratt talks to Sparrow Hart, author of "Letters to the River: A Guide to a Dream Worth Living." Pratt and Hart explore how we can move from a culture of adult children focused on “me” and materialism and gender wars into a culture of adults who are passionate about the gifts they have to give, committed to something larger than themselves, and longing to come together to create a better world.
