Never more than now has it been clearer: We are a world longing for initiation. From fires to floods, droughts to disease, trauma to addiction, to violence in our schools, from backyard barbecues with family feuds, to the ongoing wars of the world, our uninitiated longing is everywhere. We are being invited to step consciously from one stage and age in our lives and on the planet and into a new way of being. All of life is crying out for our attention to transform. This sacred ache and yearning was heard and answered by 25 powerful teachers, preachers, dreamers, and authors who came together in the powerful vortex of Teotihuacan, Mexico, to take the initiate’s journey. Over seven days, they made their rebellion sacred and laid their hearts on the altar of this ancient city. Through ceremony and initiation, they turned their wounds and fears into personal power, love, and freedom. With their hearts ignited, they created this brave collection of 25 inspiring, personal stories of transformation. Shaman Heart: Sacred Rebel is an invitation into your own initiation. May these intimate, real-life stories and healing wisdom awaken a sacred longing to step into your authenticity and become who you were born to be. 'As you go the way of life, you will see a great chasm.Jump. It is not as wide as you think.'~ Joseph Campbell, American Writer
