"Dear Shamanic Healers, Teachers, Colleagues, and New Friends,
"Many people in the world are spiritually empty. The big problem humanity faces is imbalance and division. Yet through prayer, we ask for balance, empathy, humility, and integration — calling on the wisdom of the highest mountains, the waters, and the living spirits of the Earth.” — Wilbert Salas Atasi
STANDING FOR OUR WORLD: TRUSTING OURSELVES THROUGH UNCERTAIN TIMES
At Shamans Directory, we are often asked where we stand.
In times of conflict and global crisis, we understand the call to take a position, and we honor the deep emotions, outrage, and care that give rise to that call. At the same time, our work and relationships across the world have shown us that suffering is not confined to one place, one people, or one moment in time. Across every continent — within nations, communities, and even our own neighborhoods — there are visible and unseen acts of violence, displacement, and harm unfolding each day.
In these circumstances, we are not neutral. We stand with every victim of war. We stand with every person living with the effects of violence — whether global or domestic. We stand with every life that is unseen, unheard, or held in quiet suffering. Our hearts break with every act of violence and every act of injustice.
We are not unaware. We are not ignorant to what is going on in our world. The issue is that human nature repeats itself over and over again - and change requires change. A change in how we react. A change in how we respond. How we hold what is happening in the world and how we respond is up to each one of us.
As a global community of healers, our work calls us to remain in a place of deep listening, compassion, and responsibility — to hold our world in its entirety, even when it is complex, and even when it is difficult.
Shamans Directory belongs to all of us. We are more than a Directory — we serve as a gathering place where lineage-based medicine people, healers, and teachers from around the world come together as colleagues in healing — to uplift one another, expand our capacity to be of service, and offer authentic, trusted, and meaningful access to those seeking balance and restoration.
We recognize that the ancient wisdom and healing practices of the world’s still living earth-based traditions are essential if we are to return to right-relationship with the Earth and all living things. As a nonprofit global organization, we are dedicated to honoring, preserving, and supporting these traditions — from First Nations and Original Peoples to evolving lineage-based practices — in a way that is respectful, inclusive, and grounded in relationship.
For decades, Elders have shared that humanity and the Earth will only be healed when we bring our medicine together again around one fire. At Shamans Directory, we hold this vision at the heart of everything we do. Each person carries unique and essential medicine — from tending to communities and cultures, to simple acts of kindness in daily life. All of it matters. All of it is needed.
We are not here to divide, but to gather. We hold this as a guiding intention — a reminder that lasting peace cannot emerge from cycles of blame and division. As long as we see others as the problem and ourselves as disconnected from the solution, we remain within the very patterns that need healing. We stand for humanity — in all its complexity — and for the healing of individuals, communities, our Earth and all life that she holds.
Together, we continue to ask how we can be of service.
Together, we are powerful medicine.™
Love and blessings to you all.
