out he is still alive as they travel back to Earth. Mark struggles to

suffered years of illness and almost died, but not only did it save
my life, it also helped me cope and find a way to cure a disease
that is rare and usually requires chemotherapy to fix. I’ve trained in
Peruvian Shamanism (Alberto Villoldo’s program), Lakota traditions,
and core shamanism from cultures throughout the world (Michael
Harner’s program).” The group will discuss the role of Shamans
