Enter the Ecologically Sound, Holistic
Worldview of Modern Shamanism
James Endredy, who has studied with tribal shamans
all over the world, offers a rigorous and authentic
new philosophy of shamanic practice called ecoshamanism.
Rejecting the consumer/industrial worldview and
the spiritual deadness that accompanies it, ecoshamanism
leads to a fundamental shift in consciousness—first,
by becoming aware of the sacred natural world
and our role within it, and next, by forging a
spiritual alliance with the sentient forces that
sustain our planet. Using the powerful ceremonies,
sacred rituals, and everyday practices in this
guidebook, you can transform your life as you
save the world.
The result and culmination of years of research
and experience with shamanic traditions from around
the globe, Ecoshamanism brings to the forefront
of modern thought the hidden gems found in the
vast banks of indigenous knowledge, and encourages
all of us to seek healthier and saner lives by
honoring and supporting the physical planet we
live on and all its bounty.
What’s Inside—
Discusses what Shamanism is and isn't.
Introduces Earth Education as a hybrid of environmentalism.
Offers ways to reconcile our perceptions with
nature's cycles of life, death, and rebirth.
Examines the synergies between bioregionalism,
ecofeminism, eco-psychology, and ecoshamanism.
Relays over fifty authentic ecoshamanistic practices,
including ceremonies, rituals, and chants.
Maps out a path toward a self-sustaining lifestyle.
A comprehensive bibliography to further your
own studies.
“In
this excellent book, James Endredy makes the case
for understanding sustainable living practices
and ecological awareness by incorporating the
age old Shamanic tradition. Ecoshamanism is at
once a powerful contribution to the shamanic literature
and a call to action.”
—José L. Stevens,
Ph.D
author of Praying with Power: How to Use Ancient
Shamanic Techniques to Gain Maximum Spiritual
Benefit and Extraordinary Results Through Prayer
“James Endredy has a
deep respect for the sacred traditions of indigenous
cultures. His work of bringing people closer to
Mother Earth is an important contribution to restoring
balance between the human community and the larger
web of life.”
—Casimiro dela Cruz Lopez
Huichol emissary and illustrator of The Journey
of Tunuri and the Blue Deer: A Huichol Indian
Story
“When will modern culture
remember that the land on which we stand is holy?
Thank you, James Endredy, for the humbling reminder
that while many of us on the spiritual path spend
thousands of dollars flying off to exotic locations
to get a glimpse of ‘Truth,’ Divinity
itself is right outside our door, waiting to reconnect
with us. Read this book and begin the remembering
…”
