The practice of Traditional shamanism dates back at least 10,000 years and has always been intrinsically associated with indigenous and tribal societies. Shamans were carefully selected from “shaman families” to assist their community, communicate with spirits, heal the sick and escort souls to the afterlife.
In recent years there has been a resurgence in shamanistic practices and many people with non-indigenous backgrounds are being “called” to this work through profound personal experiences. One of these people is Kristy Allan who has shared her story with us and gives us an insight into how she incorporates shamanistic healing practices into her work as a healer.
