Shamans Directory Ambassador Bhola Nath Banstola is a valued teacher of Nepali-Khasa Himalayan Shamanism and a 27th generation Nepali shaman. He has a graduate in cultural anthropology and has spent many years in the shamanic communities of Nepal, India, Bhutan and Tibet. Bhola is the Founder and President of the Nepalese Shamans Association and will be your guide and teacher for this pilgrimage.
A pilgrimage is a journey to a sacred place to renew and recharge spiritually, to meet and learn from renowned teachers, and to seek healing in far-off places. These are the most common forms of pilgrimage in Nepal. Every day of this pilgrimage will offer new revelations and opportunities to explore the richness of Nepali culture and practice.
Nepal is one of the few countries where a millennium-old lineage of wisdom-carrying shamans still live. The renowned Dhami-Jhankri-Shamans, both men and women with diverse cultural backgrounds, will share the rituals and practices of their lineages in an eco-friendly village nestled on the slopes of Nagarkot Hills above the medieval heritage town of Bhaktapur.
Presentations and ceremonies will offer intimate and powerful experiences for everyone, and focus specifically on Nepal’s rich and varied shamanic culture. As humankind's oldest spiritual healing practice, shamanism helps us address past events, enrich the present moment, and envision the future. Universally recognized spiritual healing supports our emotional and psychological health. There is no use of any mind-altering plants or substances in this tradition.
All of the Nepal Pilgrimages help to preserve the wisdom of their beloved ancestors and are designed to be comfortably suited to individuals and groups from different corners of the planet, even without previous experience.
Namaste! Bhola looks forward to welcoming you to Nepal.

Icaros, or ikaros, are songs that are interpreted as an accompaniment to healing ceremonies with sacred plants. They are musical prayers that embody the powers of the spirits of plants and animals, deities, ancestors and elemental forces. Channeled into this reality by healers, they are used as effective healing agents, powerful spiritual tools, or creators of ineffable kingdoms.
Each icaro is unique, responding to certain techniques of interpretation, singing, voice emission and breathing, as well as certain rhythmic patterns, musical scales, formal structures, and poetic themes, to guarantee real compliance with its harmonizing and healing purpose.
Darío Poletti is a musician and composer born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. In his workshops, he shares knowledge and experience that he has gathered over 25 years of contributing his own music and accompanying the work of various facilitators in the ceremonial context of Master Plants. Maestros include: Emerson Jackson (Navajo Nation), Alonso del Río (Peru), Sacha Domenech (Argentina ), among others. Much of his inspiration comes from the work of retreats and diets carried out in the hills of the Argentine Northwest. In the ceremonial context, in addition to his own singing, he uses a multiplicity of sounds from different parts of the world including: kalimbas, sikus, African udu, charango, ronroco, and native flutes. His singing includes his own compositions and also innumerable traditional ikaros used in the Amazon jungle. Dario's music can easily be found wherever you listen online.

Exploring Plant Energies and Archetypes
With Adriana Ayales at The Shift Network
Free introduction to her 9 week online course!
Course begins June 5, 2023
Are you intrigued by the mysterious powers of the moon? Do you notice how the energy of the moon sometimes shifts your state of being, in body, mind, or spirit? According to the ancient wisdom of medical astrology, the moon, the sun, and all the planets in our solar system hold archetypal energies that correspond to different aspects of our bodies. Plants also hold archetypal qualities that, when prepared and used correctly, positively affect how our physical, mental, and emotional systems function.
Renowned rainforest herbalist and medicine maker Adriana Ayales, an educator, writer, and founder of Anima Mundi Herbals, bridges the principles of these ancient remedies, along with the power of ritual to connect ancestral ways of diagnostics and the spiritual aspects of the natural world with the preparation and usage of herbal medicine.
In this session you will
Join Adriana as she explore the ancient wisdom of medical astrology, the correlation between the archetypal energies of herbs, their planetary influences, and how they correspond to the various systems of our body, and how that knowledge can help you create powerful plant remedies from your own garden for protection, intuition, and wellbeing.

Alchemical Healing
With Zahra Indigo Rønlov
May 09 - June 27, 2023
"The initiations are designed to create openings and to generate a new level of experience from which you can continue your work from a more expanded place than wherever you were when you started. They may introduce you into new dimensions of consciousness where power, intelligence, and additional frequencies of energy are available." ~ Nicki Scully (Alchemical Healing book page 47)
Alchemical healing brings together innovative techniques of shamanism and energetic healing with the principles of alchemy, creating a practical form of physical healing, therapeutic counseling, and spiritual growth. In honor of the book Alchemical Healing, Zahra Indigo Ronlov will be offering an online course of eight classes to forward the important teachings of Nicky Scully, an author, teacher and healer of shamanism and the Egyptian mysteries.
Course topics will include: Ethics in Healing, Principles of Alchemical Healing, Plant Spirits, Allies, Elements, Healing Techniques, as well as many powerful initiations and exercises. Alchemical healing presents a sacred journey into the most profound principles and mysteries of creation. It provides ways to integrate spirit and matter, to develop communications between divinity and humanity, to retrieve knowledge, and to influence physical reality in order to achieve healing and transformation. It offers both an art form and a spiritual path that develops one’s ability to co-create the future with the wisdom of the spirit world.
“Alchemical healing gives access to our innate inner wisdom and healing as well as a connection to all of the cosmos. In this way, we can enter into an optimum state of well-being personally, communally, and globally. It is a gift to show up and pay attention.” ~ Zahra Indigo
This course is appropriate for both those who have not yet taken any Alchemical Healing classes, as well as for those who have taken Alchemical Healing classes in the past.
