A Practical Path to Authenticity”, shaman and host Christina Pratt talks to Hank Wesselman about his new book, The Bowl of Light”, which is informed by the wisdom of Hale Maku, a Hawaiian Kahuna elder.
By: Last Mask Center for Shamanic Healing In this episode of “Why Shamanism Now?” titled “The Bowl of Light”, Pratt talks to author, teacher, and paleoanthropologist Hank Wesselman, Ph.D., about his new book, The Bowl of Light, and how we could make the shift that the Kahuna refers to. There is much needed wisdom here in the heart of the teachings this great Kahuna elder passed on to Wessleman. Wessleman talks to Pratt as part of a series of “Why Shamanism Now?” interviews sponsored by the Society of Shamanic Practitioners. Throughout this series, Pratt explores how contemporary shamans are meeting the challenge of their world where the relations of things—the living and the dead, the humans and nature, and the technological world and the spirit world—are profoundly out of balance. It is the ancient role of the shaman in all cultures to tend the balance of things, and the question is asked: how are these shamans meeting this extraordinary need today? Christina Pratt is a contemporary shaman specializing in mending the soul and transforming the parts of life that feel impossible. A teacher of exceptional clarity, humor, and inspiration, Pratt brings the power of shamanism into the practical grasp of anyone willing to take responsibility for improving the quality of their life. Her book An Encyclopedia of Shamanism clearly discusses the basic concepts of shamanism, methods, and traditions of over 50 different shamanic peoples. Pratt is the founder of the Last Mask Center for Shamanic Healing, creator of the original Foundations of Shamanism and Shamanic Healing course at the University of Minnesota, and a frequent and honored speaker for the American Holistic Medical Association. Hank Wesselman, Ph.D., is a paleoanthropologist, who first encountered traditional shamans in his fieldwork exploring eastern Africa's Great Rift Valley in search of answers to the mystery of human origins. Wesselman is also an author, teacher, and shamanic practitioner, now in the 30th year of his apprenticeship. The books in his autobiographical trilogy—Spiritwalker, Medicinemaker, and Visionseeker—have been published in 13 languages and reveal the nature of his initiation into the shaman’s world of mystery and magic. Wesselman is also the author of The Journey to the Sacred Garden, Spirit Medicine and The Spiritwalker Teachings, both with his wife, Jill Kuykendall, and Awakening to the Spirit World with Sandra Ingerman. His latest book is The Bowl of Light. Wessleman lives with his family on their farm in Honaunau on Hawai’i Island. His new book gives us a privileged look into the mind of an authentic, Hawaiian kahuna mystic, Hale Makua, and provides us with insights into the end of this cycle of ages and the beginning of the next. sharedwisdom.com (http://www.sharedwisdom.com) "Why Shamanism Now?
