Everyone is a shaman.

That is a bold statement and is not without nuanced caveat and discretion. However, is is the claim of our guest for this episode of Adventures Through The Mind.

Matthew J. Pallamary is a filmmaker and a highly accomplished, multi-award-winning author of 13 books, ranging from historical novels, personal memoirs, and even a non-fiction book on the art and practice of writing itself. His work is highly psychedelic and emergence for his multi-decade experience in Shamanism practices and the psychedelic subculture, on which he extensively lectures.

He is on the show to share what he has learned from his decades participating in shamanism and shamanic practices, especially in the modern context of charlatans, appropriation, and rampant abuse of power.
