On the next episode of "Why Shamanism Now?

Portland, OR, September 02, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Streaming live on the Co-Creator Radio Network on Tuesday, September 2, 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 tells listeners that aboriginal elders warned the religious missionaries they encountered that if the trials of initiation were stopped, then an even greater suffering would be unleashed on the uninitiated. According to Pratt, we see this greater suffering unfolding today in the epidemics of depression, mental illness, addiction, sexual abuse, and suicide plaguing the contemporary “first world” and those who follow in our developmental and religious footsteps. In Gods and Diseases, David Tacey explains what our ego-based society cannot understand; that it is “the task of culture to tell the person who he or she really is.” And that it is through the trials of initiation that the person comes to believe that deeper truth and use it as the foundation for sustainable mental wellness.
In this week’s episode of “Why Shamanism Now?” titled “A Shamanic View of Mental Illness: Tacey, Part 2”, Pratt continues her exploration, begun on last week’s show, of the power of Tacey’s work, which offers a an important way to look at mental illness and the possible new paths toward health and wellbeing that this point of view opens up.
