The Intersection of Buddhism and Shamanism with Isa Gucciardi

In this highly experiential talk we will explore the commonalities and differences between these two powerful ancient wisdom systems and learn how we can bring the insights each provides into our daily practice. We will look at how each system brings the student into deeper forms of awareness and mastery. Each of these systems can be considered to be a psychology of wholeness and we will explore how such processes as initiation, visionary experience, dreams and dream yoga, energy medicine, vision quest, methods of engaging with transpersonal experience, and developing awareness of forms of transcendent power provide stepping stones to that sense of wholeness for each individual.
