Skyline Treks proudly offers Shamanism tour arrangements. Shamanism
is probably humankind's oldest healing tradition having survived
for tens of thousands of years. Because of their psychological
techniques, shames are sometimes described as the world's
first psychologists and psychotherapists, shamans are often
confused with other healing practitioners such as priests,
mediums, and with doctors and do in fact often fill these
roles.
However, they can be distinguished and defined as practitioners
whose activities include a method of gaining information by
voluntarily entering alternate states of consciousness in
which they experience themselves, or their "Spirits", traveling
to other realms at will, and there obtaining information and
power with which to benefit others.
Sex and Drugs may be the bane of youth, but they are two legs
of the Primordial Religion known as Tantra. Tantra is a movement
that transcends sectarianism. It is found in Hinduism, Buddhism
and Shamanism, the three principal religions of Nepal. We
will be "participant-observers" of all three of these traditions.
The degree of your participation in Buddhist meditation, Ganja
puja with Hindu Sadhus or Shamanistic entheogenic journeys
is entirely voluntary, but the opportunity is there. You will,
in any case, be an observer and our small group will meet
daily both formally and informally for philosophical dialogue
in which we share and reflect on our experiences and observations.
Most of your fellow travelers will probably have had some
exposure to some of these traditions in some form. We will
reflect on how these pre-modern orientations can be integrated
into a postmodern lifestyle.
