About
The Society for Shamanic Practice is a global community dedicated to bringing shamanic wisdom into everyday life. Its program runs wide: a content library of articles, audio journeys, interviews and print archives organized across healing methods, personal practice and teaching stories; monthly member ceremonies on the medicine wheel and Celtic cross-quarter holidays; an Indigenous Teachings Series; and an annual gathering that in 2025 was the Sacred Paths retreat in Ireland.
Membership is the engine. Members get new monthly articles, member videos such as recent ocean and Samhain ceremonies, the society's journal with contribution pathways, its books including the Spirited Medicine and Shamanism Without Borders guidebooks, and the Eagle Feather Award, which honors service to the practice.
The society is explicit about its ethical ground: it runs featured series on cultural appropriation alongside indigenous teachings, keeping the line between learning from traditions and taking from them. Its event calendar, volunteer structure, art program and donation-supported work make it a functioning institution for shamanic practitioners worldwide, complementing rather than replacing lineage teaching. The institution's stated mission: To bring shamanic wisdom into everyday life.
