Enlightenment on the Shamanic Path

Enlightenment is usually associated with Eastern spiritual practices. Rarely do people mention the words "shaman" and "enlightenment" together.

Shamanic teacher, John Moore, presents the case that shamanism is an unparalleled tool for personal spiritual development - leading up to an enlightened state of consciousness.

John begins by explaining a model of nonduality and defining enlightenment. Then he describes how practicing shamanism exposes the interconnected and nondual nature underlying reality.
