Native American Spirituality

Traditional Path

 

The affiliated groups in Shaman Circle are interested in "Core-Shamanism". We do not claim to be Native American or offer anything that could be considered "Traditional Teaching". There is a great deal of diversity in the beliefs and traditions between different tribes; just as there are big differences in those cultures and what is significant in each of those traditions.

 

In "Core-Shamanism" there are those techniques or "tools" that have endured and are yet relevant in today's contemporary society. It is a belief that the "Spirit Realm" is the source of these tools and are given new at each generation, or at least renewed from time-to-time, and that these tools are valuable in many cultural settings. Even though there are parallels from shamanism to many indigenous cultures around the world; Instead of maintaining a "Tradition" that comes out of a specific place and time (culture), the practices of core-shamanism are new each time for every initiate.

 

All of the Circles and Groups at Shaman Circle uphold the idea of Acceptance!

Acceptance of other's beliefs and systems of religion is one aspect of "acceptance".

We do not pretend to be Native American or hold any special connections to Tribal Communities or Associations. Nor do we indiscriminately "borrow" from other traditions. We honor and respect all traditions, including those ways with cultural references.

 

Contact us (email), if you have an interest in "Traditional Tribal Ways" or in a specific Native American Spiritual Path. Include personal information you feel is pertinent to your request.  Your request will be forwarded directly to our contacts in the Native American Communities.
