What Ethical Considerations Should Be Taken into Account When Practising or Studying Shamanism?

Ethical practice in shamanism involves respecting the cultural origins and traditions from which these practices arise. It’s crucial to approach shamanism with humility, seeking guidance from authentic practitioners and avoiding cultural appropriation. Practitioners should also be mindful of their impact on indigenous communities, ensuring their practices support and honour these cultures rather than exploit them. By upholding these ethical standards, we can engage with shamanism in a responsible and respectful manner. All our offerings at Embracing Shamanism are based on this foundation. Learn more here.
