The founders of Shamanzon, Joel & Martín, are two individuals who hold themselves to a high standard of integrity and it shows. Their presentation of their collaboration and the space / container they create for communal healing is accurate: they deeply honour the lineages these spiritual traditions spring from and it shows in every aspect of the construction of the space. They honour these lineages not by picking up a melange of different rituals and de-contextualising them from the cultures these practices spring from, and not by naming themselves as 'shamans' and pouring the medicine in a western context, but by bringing over their teachers, now their friends, from the Amazon and simply faciliating a space whereby those who are truly within the lineage and have mastered these medicine paths can do their work. It's hard to find such a space, and it's very clear the founders aren't themselves 'in it' for money or for shine, they're in it because these plant medicines speak to their souls and because their initiated teachers have affected their lives and they want to share this with others. Beautiful space, well-tended, sensitive and delicate, and extremely fair fees to boot. Can't recommend these folk and the space they've created enough.
