Tending to Forever Chemicals (PFAS)

by Dec 18, 2025

This is a Shamanism Without Borders Call-to-Action

PFAS stands for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances. They are often referred to as “forever chemicals” due to their persistence in the environment and the human body. PFAS do not occur naturally; they are entirely human-made, but once released, they become pervasive in nature, found globally in water, air, soil, fish, and wildlife due to their extreme persistence and ability to travel long distances, accumulating in living organisms and ecosystems, even in remote areas like the Arctic, spreading through the Web of Life all over the World.

PFAS are found in rain, surface water, groundwater, soil, and air globally, with some levels in rain exceeding health advisories. They build up in food webs, with high concentrations in fish, seafood, and terrestrial wildlife. They resist breakdown, meaning contamination will remain for generations even if releases stop. Exposure is linked to adverse health effects in humans and animals, including liver damage, hormonal disruption, and potential cancer risks.

Join Tekla Drakfrende, Shamanic Practitioner from Sweden and Shamanism Without Borders Community Leader, to explore together how to get rid of PFAS or render them harmless, through the Shamanism Without Borders process of neutral tending.

HOW TO PREPARE

Create a sacred ceremonial space in a quiet place where you will not be disturbed or distracted. You may want to create an altar, light a candle, and/or have your shamanic tools nearby. You are welcome to rattle or drum along during the shamanic journey process.
