Lineage-Based Teachings with Modern Health Practices
With John Crow MacKinnon of Shamanic Voyages
Saturday 24 May 2025
8am PT / 11am ET / 5pm CET
Approximately 2 hours​
​
Join us for our upcoming Shamans Directory Live Event featuring John (Crow) MacKinnon, who will share his insights from his personal journey navigating both traditional and modern teaching practices. Crow will speak about his work with entheogens, or traditional plant medicine teachers, and the growing recognition of their value in modern mental health care. He will explore how traditional healers can contribute to and also benefit from this expanding field, particularly in areas of diagnosis and ethical standards.

Crow is the founder of Shamanic Voyages, a non-profit organization offering educational travel experiences to places where shamanism remains a living tradition. He is an Amazonian-trained Curandero, a Harner Shamanic Counselor and a graduate of advanced trainings offered by the Foundation for Shamanic Studies. He is an Ambassador for Shamans Directory, and he is also active in global initiatives including Sacred Earth Activism and Pachamama Alliance.

The lineage where he received most consistent training is rooted in the Amazonian tradition through the line of don Viejo Rivas, don Agustin Rivas Vasques, and don Ramone Sanchez Rojas—a lineage of Shipibo origin from the Ucayali region of Peru.

With decades of collaboration with healers from many different backgrounds and traditions, Crow offers a unique perspective on how science and lineage-based wisdom can come together. As modern medicine begins to recognize the value of what traditional, earth-based medicine has to offer, this will be a timely conversation about bridging worlds and deepening mutual respect.

This event is FREE and all are welcome.
No preregistration is required.
