Neoshamanism

Neoshamanism is a type of spirituality that combines traditional practices from various indigenous cultures with modern beliefs and practices. It focuses on a connection with nature and the spiritual world. Imagine you're playing pretend: you are pretending to be a shaman, which is a special person in some cultures who can talk to spirits and help people. Neoshamanism is like playing pretend, but when you're a grown-up. Instead of playing pretend, you actually do things to connect with nature and spirits. This might include going on nature walks, doing rituals, or meditating. It's like having a special secret way to talk to the world around you. People who practice neoshamanism believe that these practices can help improve their well-being and connect them to something larger than themselves.
