​​Please join us in ceremony as we celebrate the Solstice, our Five Year Birthday here at Shamans Directory, and you — the extraordinary global community that has grown around this shared vision over the past five years!

We are deeply honored and blessed to welcome the highly esteemed Andean Medicine Man and beloved Shamans Directory Ambassador, Wilbert Salas Atasi, together with special guest Ñusta Paqo Lucia Machaca Puacar, as our ceremonialists for this very special gathering.

Together, they will guide us in sacred ceremony from the heart of the Peruvian Andes, inviting us to remember our connection to the Earth, the stars, and one another.
​
The Solstice is a time-honored moment of stillness, renewal, gratitude, and joy — a sacred turning of the seasons that has been celebrated by earth-based traditions since the beginning of time. It is a potent opportunity to pause, to listen deeply, and to realign with our soul's purpose and the unique gifts that we are each here to bring into the world.
​
This gathering carries special significance as we celebrate five years as an organization.
​
For five years we have prayed together, learned from one another, laughed together, and shown up for life together across cultures and continents. We have witnessed the extraordinary medicine that emerges when people gather in a spirit of respect, reciprocity, and cooperation, honoring both our diversity and our shared humanity.
​
As we celebrate this milestone, we also look toward the future with hope and determination. Until now, Shamans Directory has been sustained through our own personal contributions and the dedication of a small yet extraordinarily devoted team of volunteers. Together, we have grown from an inspiring vision into a fully fledged nonprofit organization — one whose expanding global reach and responsibilities now require a level of support beyond what we can carry alone.

And so, with humility, we are asking for your help to support the next phase of Shamans Directory’s evolution.
​
If Shamans Directory has touched your life, please join us, and consider making a contribution at the level that most comfortably fits your budget. Every donation, every shared post, and every act of encouragement helps ensure that these living wisdom traditions continue to be carried forward with care, integrity, and authenticity.
