Itzhak Beery, Founder of Shaman’s Portal. Itzhak is the author of several acclaimed books on shamanism, including Ayahuasca Dreams, The Gift of Shamanism, and his recent anthology, Shamanic Transformations, in which he has gathered inspiring accounts from contemporary shamans describing their first moments of their spiritual epiphany. In conversation with Itzhak, he will describe the adversity he faced with depression and general malaise that led him to question his life, and finally discover his shamanic path. He’ll talk about a vision he had after taking ayahuasca that helped him recognize that advertisers and shamans were using similar methods to communicate with people’s emotions and he could choose to be on the side of spreading positive, healing energy. The path of his life led him to where he is now as a healer. He will discuss how simple it is to be present and connect with our “I AM” spiritual core through nature. He’ll explain how he does this every morning in the middle of an urban environment.
Itzhak teaches that shamanism leads us to our hearts. Humanity has universal needs. All people want to be loved, acknowledged for who they are, and feel safe. We all can contribute so this possibility may prevail in the future.
