I've just discovered the Eagle's Wing Centre for Contemporary Shamansim or, otherwise titled, the Eagle's Wing Centre for Shamanic Medicine, in London. It's been going about 25 years.
I don't like medicine. It comes after the event. I like preventative approaches.
I don't like the aesthetics of this website or its blog. They're not culturally resonant. They're weird and shamanic and Other.
The list of stuff they cover - "Ritual and Ceremony, Shamanic Journeys, Soul Retrieval, Movement / Dance / Voicework, Trance Dance events, Vision Quests, Sweatlodges" - are what Bill Plotkin talks about.
But I don't recall him ever using the word 'shamanism' in relation to his practice - maybe I am missing something, I'll look again.
"Shamanism" is a hot word. I'm not sure it's the right word. Humm.
