You Are the World
In Search of Shamanic Wisdom
Niklaus Brantschen encounters shamanism while visiting his niece – who laughs as she describes herself as a “herbal witch”. He learns about an attitude towards life that is characterised by a connection with nature and the entire world, as well as a mindful approach to the Earth’s resources and loving care for other people and fellow beings. He becomes curious and sets out on a quest for clues, describing his various encounters with shamanic wisdom in this book. The well-known Jesuit priest and Zen master comes to this conclusion: Shamanic wisdom leads to the original sources of spirituality. This book builds a fascinating bridge between shamanism, Zen and Christianity.
