Shamans are not trained.
They are not certified.
They are forged in fire.
In this video, I share the truth about how shamans, edgewalkers, and healers are formedânot through comfort, not through theory, and not through bypassing pain, but through lived experience, trauma, and initiation.
My path into this work did not come through a straight line. It came through loss, early responsibility, psychological crisis work, years in Western medicine, deep study of religion and indigenous wisdom, burnout, and ultimately ceremonial initiation with entheogens. This is the long way aroundâand it is the way shamans have always been made.
What this video explores:
⢠Why true healers are forged through suffering, not perfection
⢠The difference between training and initiation
⢠How trauma becomes medicine when it is integrated
⢠Why Western culture misunderstands shamanic calling
⢠The role of entheogens in awakeningânot escapingâhumanity
⢠What it truly means to walk between worlds as an edgewalker
⢠Why healing work requires embodiment, not spiritual performance
Shamanism is not about being special.
It is about being broken open and made hollow enough to carry wisdom for others.
Every indigenous culture understands this truth:
Those who help guide others out of suffering have first had to survive their own.
This video is for:
⢠Serious seekers
⢠Trauma survivors who know there is more
⢠People disillusioned by surface-level spirituality
⢠Those called to healing but unsure why their life has been so hard
⢠Anyone questioning whether their pain has purpose
This is not a recruitment into ceremony.
This is an invitation into understanding.
Healing does not come from avoiding the fire.
It comes from walking through itâwith skill, reverence, and integration.
