Soul-Share Guest
In the Soul-Share segment of Episode One, Brandon and Shaman Durek—fourth generation spirit shaman and healer—explore the true nature of a shaman. Shaman Durek shares what life is like dating the Princess of Norway, being a beacon of women’s empowerment, and deconstructing the guru complex that has left many “spiritually co-dependent”. Durek also answers questions on whether or not one needs to be in a lineage to be a shaman, how to code your reality, and how to exist on a planet of imperfection.
