January Offerings from ShamanPortal
With Johannes B. Gårdbäck, Christina Pratt, and Jorge Luis Delgado
08, 15, 20 & 27 January 2026
As 2025 drew to a close, Shamans Directory Ambassador and Member Itzhak Beery of ShamanPortal reflected with gratitude on the vibrant, growing community we share. Over the past year, 29 ShamanPortal Wisdom Webinars welcomed 15 remarkable wisdom keepers from the United States, Ireland, Ecuador, South Africa, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and Nepal. More than one thousand participants gathered in circle — listening, learning, sharing, healing, and reconnecting with both ancient and contemporary spiritual pathways.
Looking ahead to 2026, an inspiring new series of webinars is taking shape. The year will feature powerful teachers, diverse traditions, and meaningful opportunities to deepen your practice, understanding, and connection.
The new year begins with an Introduction to Trolldom, the Scandinavian tradition of ancient folk wisdom and magic, guided by Johannes B. Gårdbäck, a leading practitioner and teacher. Next, Christina Pratt will explore integrating multiple spiritual traditions into a coherent personal cosmology. Peruvian teacher and author Jorge Luis Delgado will share insights from his newly released book, Love, Service, Wisdom: The Ancient Inka Path to Inner Harmony, and the month will wrap up with Itzhak Beery offering Plant Masters: Teachers or Demons?
We invite you to join us throughout 2026 as we continue to learn, grow, and remember together, honoring the wisdom of our ancestors while walking a conscious spiritual path in the modern world. Recordings are made available to all ticket holders for 30 days.
The Grand Spiral of Huaca Montegrande
With Dr. Quirino Olivera
Saturday 25 October 2025
8am PT / 11am ET / 5pm CET
Approximately 2 hours
With deep reverence for the ancient wisdom held in the land, Shamans Directory warmly invites you to join an exciting live transmission from Huaca Montegrande, in the upper region of the Peruvian Amazon. Coordinated by Shamans Directory Team Member Cynthia Honores, Dr. Quirino Olivera, Peruvian lead archeologist and director of Huaca Montegrande, will be speaking to us directly from the site, with translation and additional transmission made by biologist and sacred ecologist, Karen Gordon.
Huaca Montegrande, the oldest ceremonial temple in pre-Columbian America, is a living testament to the birth of spirituality in the Amazon. Shaped as a woman in sacred embrace, giving birth to a spiral, the temple mirrors the universal rhythm of transformation, continuity, and creation. Its stones carry stories of balance, between river and mountain, feminine and masculine, earth and sky.
Here, archaeologists have uncovered possibly the world’s oldest ceremonial cacao, a fruit that “not only nourished, but also united worlds.” We invite you to join us in honoring this sacred site, where science and spirit meet, a place that remembers the origins of prayer, offering, and communion with life itself. Come listen, learn, and receive from the Great Spiral of Montegrande, a song of cacao, memory, and awakening.

Approximately 2 hours
We are honored to welcome Shamans Directory Member Fotoula Fonteini Adrimi to share wisdom from her new book, Sacred Mysticism of Egypt. Since 2006, Fotoula has been remembering and reclaiming her spiritual work from Zep Tepi, “The Initial Time,” an age when human beings walked in their radiance as luminous beings of light. Guided by her ever-present spirit ally, the Goddess Isis (ISET), Fotoula has been called to bring forward the spiritual heritage of ancient Egypt for our times.
During our time together, Fotoula will open a window into this golden era, offering teachings from the mystery schools and sacred temples, practices that awaken the multi-dimensional self, and pathways of initiation that connect us to the Living Light. She will share her own journeys of communion with pyramids, monuments, and timeless guardians of wisdom, illuminating how their messages can guide us today.
The ancient Egyptian path of Heka, Divine Power and Divine Love, invites us to rise from chaos into wholeness, embodying the light of spirit within human form. Join us as Fotoula guides us to remember the wisdom of the ancients and step into our radiance as beings of Living Light.

Indigenous Wisdom from Africa Join Shamans Directory Ambassador and Member John Lockley, an Elder Sangoma (African Shaman) from the Xhosa tribe, as he shares ancient teachings from Southern Africa on the art of tracking. For the Xhosa and the Khoi-San Bushmen trackers of the Kalahari, tracking is far more than following footprints in the sand — it is a way of life. John will guide us into the realms of inner and outer tracking, exploring how to navigate both the spiritual and physical worlds with presence, intuition, and respect. Through leopard medicine teachings, John introduces us to our seven senses, particularly the mysterious seventh sense—intuition, magic, and mystery—that opens the doorway to dreams, ancestors, and spirit. He will share stories from his years of training alongside legendary Bushmen trackers, and how intuitive tracking can help us manifest our visions and reimagine our shared humanity around the sacred fire. At the heart of this teaching is Ubuntu, the Southern African philosophy of interconnectedness, celebrated by Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu. As an elder Sangoma, John brings this wisdom forward with authenticity and heart. Together, we will explore inner tracking, the art of connecting with soul, dreams, and ancestors through mindful practices, stillness, and ceremony. We’ll also dive into outer tracking, learning to recognize life’s signs, from synchronicities to animal communication, that guide our path. |
Staying Centered in a Crazy World
With Joan Parisi Wilcox
Saturday 26 July 2025
8am PT / 11am ET / 5pm CET
Approximately 2 hours
How do we stay calm and grounded, and yet remain engaged in facilitating change and transformation, when we feel we are surrounded by chaos, calamity, and craziness? In this two-hour discussion, we will explore “practical spirituality,” what it means, and what practicing it might look like according to various wisdom traditions, including Andean mysticism.
In this session Shamans Directory Ambassador and Member Joan Parisi Wilcox, author and master teacher of the Andean traditions will address a number of interesting questions. Should we welcome chaos, calamity, and craziness as just what we need to spur us into action? What kind of action, if any, is effective in the face of craziness and chaos? How do we re-engage in the world if we are so overwhelmed or triggered by its troubles and turmoil that all we want to do is tune out?
While each one of us must find our own unique way forward, and there may be no clear-cut answers to such questions, there are all kinds of perspectives that can enlighten us. We hope that you will join us. You may just discover some answers that your soul has been waiting for.

With Traditional Medicine People Jay and Sweetie Bird
Saturday 12 July 2025
8am PT / 11am ET / 5pm CET
Approximately 2 hours
"World peace begins at home." Across Turtle Island (AKA North America), many of us live unaware of our Indigenous neighbors whose ancestors have been here for thousands of years. Over time, physical and energetic walls have been built, dividing not only the land, but our hearts. But what if those walls could come down?
Shamans Directory Members Jay and Sweetie Bird are stepping forward as bridges for other Indigenous communities as well as anyone who is interested in learning more about their ancestral wisdom traditions.
You are warmly invited to a very special online gathering, a space of healing, listening, and connection. Together, we will explore what becomes possible when ancient (traditional) wisdom meets open-hearted presence. When we create a new kind of community, one rooted in truth, reciprocity, and reverence for one another.
This is not just an event. It is a chance to remember that reconciliation is not just about people, but about the Earth and all of her children. Let's dream together. Let's listen deeply. Let’s feel what’s possible when we begin to see one another again. The door is open. Will you enter?
This event is FREE and all are welcome.

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.

8am PT / 11am ET / 5pm CET
Approximately 2 hours
As people around the world increasingly seek healing for their hearts and souls, there is a growing interest in shamanic, earth-based traditions. Yet stepping onto this sacred path calls for more than simply curiosity and the desire to have a trendy job description. It requires deep reverence for the sources of ancient still-living knowledge, and the Indigenous peoples and communities who have safeguarded their practices for thousands of years.
Becoming a shaman is not a title one simply claims. It is a lifelong journey of apprenticeship, inner transformation, cultivating relationship with the seen and unseen worlds, and service to your community and beyond.
In this powerful session, Shamans Directory Partner and Ambassador Taita Itzhak Beery will share insights from his recent article You Call Yourself a Shaman. Now What? 12 Heartfelt, Essential Actions to help guide those who feel called to embody the role of a shaman with wisdom, integrity, and humility.
Itzhak is an internationally renowned shamanic teacher, healer, speaker, community activist, trip leader, as well as author of three books. A passionate advocate for preserving the vast spiritual and medicinal knowledge of the Amazonian jungle, since 1995, he has bridged the spiritual and practical wisdom entrusted to him by his Indigenous and Western teachers. He was initiated by his Kichwa teacher in Ecuador and a Kanamari Pajè in the Brazilian Amazon, among others.
With a grounded, generous teaching style, Itzhak brings decades of wisdom and experience in the healing arts. He is the founder of ShamanPortal, the Andes Summit, and SPQR (ShamanPortal Quarterly Review) Magazine, and co-founder of The New York Shamanic Circle, and Amaroo Sanctuary in Mindo, Ecuador. He was honored with the Ambassador for Peace Award from the Universal Peace Federation and the UN.
Join us for what will surely be a joyful and profound experience!

Discover the Path of Shamanism and Intuitive Healing
With Ahamkara
Saturday 12 April 2025
8am PT / 11am ET / 5pm CET
Approximately 2 hours
Shamanism teaches that every person has innate wisdom and the ability to connect with the spirit world and nature. By developing intuition and working with energy, shamans learn to restore balance and guide others on their healing journeys. Illness, from a shamanic perspective, often stems from energetic imbalances, emotional wounds, or spiritual disharmony. Through rituals, dream work, and plant medicine, shamans access deep wisdom to heal and transform lives.
Ahamkara, a Shamans Directory Ambassador and Member, is a shaman from the Altai region of Siberia. For over 20 years, he has practiced shamanism as taught by Siberian Indigenous peoples and hereditary shamans. His teachings focus on health, personal growth, and finding one’s true path. Ahamkara brings warmth, humor, and practical wisdom to his students, integrating traditional knowledge with modern-day application. In addition to spirit communication and dream work, he is well-versed in plant medicine, herbalism, and body systems.
Join us for a Shamans Directory Live Event, where Ahamkara will introduce the foundations of Siberian shamanism and his year long Shaman-Healer training, "How to Become a Shaman and Healer."
This event is FREE and all are welcome.
