The Medicine You Seek is Seeking You Makhosi Baba Muvo Ngcobo, Zulu Sangoma, Founder of Muvo Ancestral Healing, and Member of Shamans Directory, warmly invites our global community to experience this extraordinary gathering — to sit in circle, listen deeply, celebrate, learn, and remember what becomes possible when we come together with open hearts and a shared prayer for people and planet. The Medicine Festival is difficult to describe because it is so much more than a festival. It is a meeting place, bringing together Indigenous wisdom keepers, artists, musicians, visionaries, teachers, healers, and people from many cultures and traditions to explore one essential question: How can we be the medicine? Through ceremony, storytelling, sacred music, talks, workshops, healing practices, and time together on the land, Medicine Festival invites us to remember ways of living rooted in gratitude, reciprocity, respect, and guardianship for all life. At its heart is a vision of a world in which Nature is cherished, peace is revered, difference is celebrated, and communities come together across cultures to create a more equitable and thriving future. As a Community Interest Company, Medicine Festival also supports organizations, projects, and communities working to preserve sacred traditions, uplift Indigenous peoples, and protect and regenerate the Earth. |

Featuring Rakel Arke Sanímuinaq and Other Respected Healers, Artists, Activists & Knowledge Holders
Produced by Science & Nonduality (SAND)
28-29 July 2026
We are deeply moved to invite our global community to experience Sila: The Life Within Everything, a visually luminous and spiritually profound film from The Eternal Song, the remarkable 12-film documentary series created by Science & Nonduality (SAND).
Featuring Shamans Directory Member and Inuit Angakker (Shaman) Rakel Arke Sanímuinaq, alongside other respected Inuit knowledge holders, Sila journeys through three centuries of Danish colonialism and cultural suppression.
In Greenland, Sila is the living consciousness that moves through and connects all beings. In this way, Sila is not a story of loss. It is a story of remembering.
Through breathtaking cinematography, the film carries us into ceremony: the restoration of shamanism, the heartbeat of the drum, traditional healing, and the return of ancestral body markings.
Your donation of any amount provides immediate access to the film, a companion workbook, and a remarkable two-day live gathering on July 28–29.
Watch now or join the communal screening before gathering live with those whose stories are woven throughout the film.
Join a communal screening and intimate conversations with Inuit healers, artists, activists, and knowledge holders exploring shamanic lineage and the soul’s return, healing from colonial trauma, drum dancing, sacred markings, belonging, and cultural resilience.
Still there. Still breathing. Still listening.

A Journey of Remembering How to Receive
With Marleni Vilca Munay of Pachamama Hampina Wasi
Saturday 25 July 2026
8am PDT / 10am Peru / 11am EDT / 5pm CET
Approximately 90 minutes
What if abundance is not something we must chase, earn, or struggle to create? What if it is something we can remember?
We warmly invite you to join us along with Marleni Vilca Munay, Founder of Pachamama Hampina Wasi and Member of Shamans Directory, for a live online gathering exploring a different understanding of abundance — one rooted in the wisdom of Pachamama, the creative force of the feminine, reciprocity, gratitude, and community.
Over the past several years, Marleni has been on a profound personal journey of learning to receive. Like many who walk a spiritual path, she once struggled with the belief that sacred work and material abundance could not coexist. Her journey has led her to a new understanding: honoring the value of ancestral wisdom, allowing ourselves to receive, and creating the resources to serve, build, share, and give back are all part of the same sacred exchange.
In this intimate gathering, Marleni will invite us to explore the inherited beliefs and patterns that may shape our relationship with abundance. Where are we holding back? What are we longing to create? What might become possible if we opened ourselves more fully to receive.
Drawing upon the living wisdom of the Andes and the unfolding story of Pachamama Hampina Wasi, Marleni will share how abundance is found not in accumulation, but in relationship — in the ways we nourish one another, create together, express gratitude, and recognize that we were never meant to do this alone.
Participants will receive and invitation to join Marleni this September 15 to 22 at Pachamama Hampina Wasi in Peru, to celebrate the 4th Ñaupa Tantanakuy Apukuna; a gathering with more than 13 Elders and Guardians from different parts of the world who will share ceremonies, teachings, and transmissions for the New Humanity. An opportunity for more abundance!
Come with an area of your life that is asking to grow.
Can you hear abundance calling?
This event is open to all.
No preregistration is required.

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.

Remembering Our Place Within the Living World
Hosted by Kako Earth and Cosmaloka
Honoring the Solstice, 20-26 June 2026
Tenkawa, Nara JAPAN
On the Summer Solstice of 2026, wisdom keepers, elders, and timekeepers from across the Pacific Rim will gather in Japan for a rare and sacred convergence marking the opening of a new 26,000-year cycle.
This gathering is more than an event; it is a prayer in action. A uniting of ancient lineages at a pivotal moment for humanity, as we stand between cycles — closing one era of imbalance and consciously stepping into another rooted in harmony, reciprocity, and reverence for life.
Following a historic gathering in Tikal in 2025, where a global council of spiritual leaders completed a great cycle of time, a vow was made to reconvene in Japan. Now, at the water temple of Tenkawa, with the sacred presence of Mount Fuji, this intention comes to life.
At the heart of the Convergence are 50 ancestral knowledge holders carrying living traditions, ceremonial practices, and guidance for this emerging era. Together, they will tend sacred fire, offer prayer, and share wisdom to support a realignment with the Earth and the greater cycles that sustain life.
The symbol of this gathering, the Ouroboros, the serpent forming a living circle, reminds us that all endings are beginnings. That renewal is inherent in the great turning of time.
As the longest day of light unfolds, this Convergence becomes an invocation: a collective remembering of our place within the living world.
Witness, support, or join this profound moment of global unity — where ancient memory, sacred land, and future possibility meet.

Saturday 23 May 2026
8am PDT / 11am EDT / 5pm CET
Approximately 90 minutes
Step into the world of rune magic, myth, and living symbols with Shamans Directory Ambassador Imelda Almqvist — author, artist, teacher, and Forest Witch devoted to Northern European spiritual traditions. From her school in Sweden, where the forest meets the Baltic Sea, Imelda teaches Seiðr, sacred art, and shamanic practices for both adults and children.
We are delighted to invite you to this special live online event, dedicated to her latest book, Portals, Patterns and Pathways: A Handbook for Rune Magicians, Star Gazers and Myth Makers — a long-awaited deep dive into the runes of the Elder Futhark.
Imelda will introduce the runes not merely as an ancient alphabet, but as living glyphs infused with spirit and intelligence — powerful allies for divination and insight, supporting us in navigating life with greater awareness and conscious choice.
During this immersive session, she will share the lineage and foundations of rune magic within Old Norse traditions, explore the connection between runes, myth, and cosmic patterns, reveal how runes map a mythic and imaginal realm through archetypes, alchemical, and symbolic language. She will also offer a few live rune readings, and of course, there will be an open space for questions and answers.
The runes are portals, messengers from the unseen realms, and gateways into a deeper relationship with self and spirit. Whether you are new to rune work or already walking this path, this gathering is sure to offer inspiration, insight, and a meaningful connection to this ancestral tool.
Join us for a journey into myth, magic, and the wisdom of the runes.
This event is offered freely.

Meeting Pachamama: A Sacred Journey Home
With Medicine Woman Magaly Quispe Singona
Saturday 09 May 2026
6am PDT / 8am PET / 9am EDT / 3pm CET
Check your timezone here
Approximately 90 minutes
There are moments in life when something deeper calls us. An inner knowing in the heart that there is more to discover about ourselves and the world around us. Sacred travel is not about escaping life. It is about stepping more fully into it. When we visit sacred lands with intention, something within us begins to shift: the noise softens, the heart opens, and the spirit remembers.
We warmly invite you to join Medicine Woman Magaly Quispe Singona from the Qanchis Illya Rainbow Lineage, beloved sister of Master Puma Fredy Quispe Singona of Noqan Kani and PumAdventures, for a beautiful teaching about her relationship with the sacred lands of Peru.
In the Andean traditions, the land is alive. The earth, Pachamama, holds us, teaches us, and receives us. When we enter these lands with respect, reverence, and presence, we are welcomed as family. And in that welcoming, something within us is restored. We come home to ourselves. Home to the Earth. Home to love.
These teachings are not taken out of context — they are meant for all of us. They are living traditions, carried with integrity, humility, and devotion. As we heal, we contribute to something greater. Our personal healing ripples outward into our families, our communities, and the world.
To walk these lands with those who belong to them, who have tended these relationships for generations, is something truly special. And it is a privilege to open that doorway for those who feel called.
This event is offered freely.

A Rare Opportunity to Learn from a Living Master
Nepali Dhami–Jhankri Shamanism with Bhola Banstola
08-24 May 2026, Toronto, Vancouver & Quebec
We are honored to share a rare and meaningful opportunity to sit with Shamans Directory Ambassador Bhola Banstola, a respected Elder and long time-lineage carrier of the Nepali Dhami–Jhankri shamanic tradition, as he offers a series of in-person transmissions across Canada this May.
Rooted in a living tradition that has been carried through generations, these gatherings offer more than learning—they offer direct experience. Through presence, relationship, and practice, participants are invited into a deeper understanding of a path that honors Nature, Ancestors, lineage, and the unseen world as essential to healing and human development.
Each of the three gatherings offers a unique doorway into this tradition.
In Toronto (May 8–10), the focus turns toward the role of Nature, Ancestors, and the Wisdom Goddesses in healing. Held over Mother’s Day weekend, this gathering carries a special invitation to honor the feminine principle and the ancestral lines that continue to guide and sustain us.
In Vancouver (May 15–17), the emphasis deepens into the role of ancestry and lineage. Here, participants are invited to explore their relationship with those who came before, recognizing ancestors not only as memory, but as active participants in one’s spiritual life and well-being.
In Quebec (May 23–24), the transmission offers an experiential foundation in Dhami–Jhankri shamanism. This gathering introduces core practices, including the creation of sacred space, working with elemental spirits, and entering shamanic states through rhythm, mantra, and song.
Across all three events, participants will engage in traditional practices such as drumming, sacred chanting, and shamanic journeying—methods that have been used for generations to access wisdom beyond ordinary perception. These teachings are offered without the use of substances, relying instead on sound, rhythm, and relationship to enter altered states of awareness.
Central to this path is the understanding that healing arises through connection—connection to the land, to the spirits, to one’s ancestors, and to the deeper aspects of self. Through ceremony, participants may experience practices of purification, protection, and the restoration of life force, all held within the integrity of a living lineage.
These gatherings are open to all—those new to this path, those walking their own healing journey, and experienced practitioners alike. Each offers a supportive and respectful space to listen, learn, and engage.
Whether you feel called to attend one or to follow the full arc of these teachings across the country, this is a rare invitation to come into relationship with a tradition that continues to live, breathe, and serve.
Bhola warmly invites you to explore which of these gatherings resonates most with you.
Space is limited. Email Neraun Sahoy for details: n_sahoy@hotmail.com
Teaching, Ceremony and Visioning
Three Shamanic Gatherings
With Taita Itzhak Beery
Thursday and Sunday 14 & 17 May 2026
Amsterdam, Netherlands
You are warmly invited to join us for a series of shamanic workshops and ceremonies with teacher, healer, and author Taita Itzhak Beery. This will be our third gathering in the Netherlands, a heartfelt collaboration between Shamans Directory and Shaman Portal, as we continue to cultivate a growing community of kindred spirits exploring earth-based wisdom and medicine ways that support us in our personal growth and in service to others.
Itzhak is truly a one-of-a-kind shaman — an elder, master practitioner, and storyteller — who lovingly and generously shares his energy, heart, and wisdom through a grounded and down-to-earth teaching style, shaped by decades of lived experience. Initiated by his Kichwa teacher in Ecuador and an Amazonian Kanamari Pajè in Brazil, among others, his work carries the depth of lineage alongside a grounded, accessible presence.
During his time in Amsterdam, you are invited to step into three distinct yet complementary experiences:
On Wednesday 14 May, we begin with Shamanic Palm Reading: The Language of the Hands, an illuminating exploration into the stories, patterns, and wisdom held within the hands. revealing insight into your path, your gifts, and the deeper currents shaping your life.
Later that day, you are invited into The Night Watchman: Guayusa Dreamtime Tea Ceremony, a sacred ceremonial space to enter the realm of vision, clarity, and dreaming. Through the traditional Guayusa tea ceremony, participants are guided into deep listening — opening to insight, reflection, and the wisdom that arises in the liminal space between night and dawn.
On Sunday 17 May, The Sacred Garden: A Shamanic Soul Journey invites you into a profound inner exploration. Through guided journeying and embodied practice, you will be supported in reconnecting with your inner blueprint and life purpose — nurturing the seeds of transformation that live within you.
Come be inspired, nourish yourself, and enrich your practice with powerful approaches you can integrate into your life and healing work. No prior shamanic training is required to enter this work. Only curiosity and a willingness to explore are needed.
Whether you join us for one or all three of these offerings, we look forward to sharing these enriching experiences with you, learning, growing, and connecting in our sacred circles! If you are unable to join the Amsterdam workshops and are in Europe, Itzhak will also be offering workshops in London, UK, and Tuscany, Italy, right after he visits the Netherlands.
Together, these gatherings offer a beautiful balance of teaching and ceremony, visioning and integration. Held within a respectful and supportive circle, each experience builds upon the next, offering pathways for both insight and embodied understanding.
KIVA Online Film Screening with Wisdom Keepers
With Rutendo Ngara, Carlos Jesús Castillejos, and a Special Guest
Hosted by filmmaker Marijke Kodden
Sunday 12 April 2026
10am PT / 1pm ET / 7pm CET
You are warmly invited to a unique online KIVA gathering bringing together three Indigenous Wisdom Keepers from three different continents for an evening of connection, insight, and inspiration. This special event begins with the screening of the documentary KIVA – The Call of the Wisdom Keepers, a powerful film that shares the message of Indigenous elders and the revival of an ancient global ceremony dedicated to peace, unity, and reconnection with Mother Earth.
Following the film, we will enter into a live dialogue with powerful Wisdom Keepers, including Rutendo Ngara (Zimbabwe/South Africa), Carlos Jesús Castillejos (Mexico), and a special surprise guest. Together, they will share their perspectives, traditions, and insights on healing, balance, and our relationship with the Earth.
Rutendo Ngara, also known as Neterteri Meska, Feng Xian, and Lapo’Mhlaba, is a wisdom keeper, spiritual guide, and bridge-builder between worlds. Rooted in African Indigenous knowledge, she weaves connections between nature, society, and spirit through her work as a priestess, diviner, and counselor. Rather than calling herself a healer, she serves as a mirror, awakening others to their own innate healing power. A deep quest for harmony, coexistence, and complementarity lies at the heart of all she does.
Carlos Jesús Castillejos is a ceremonial leader, writer, and pilgrim of Mayan-Toltec descent from Tabasco, Mexico. Carrying the legacy of his Mayan and Zapotec ancestors, he walks the sacred Sacbé Trail in the Yucatán Peninsula, sharing the teachings of the Monkey lineage and the wisdom of the maize traditions. A devoted participant in the KIVA ceremony since its inception, Carlos continues to support and sustain this sacred tradition through his presence, prayers, and ongoing pilgrimage.
This gathering is more than an event. It is an invitation to listen, reflect, and remember a deeper connection with nature and one another.
Proceeds support Roots of the Earth (Raíces de la Tierra), the organization behind the KIVA ceremonies worldwide, including this year’s KIVA gathering in Zimbabwe.
Join us in this global circle, where wisdom, prayer, and intention come together to support peace, unity, and the restoration of balance with our Earth.
