Shamanism Without Borders Call-to-Action: Tending to Forever Chemicals
NEXT SHAMANISM WITHOUT BORDERS
CALL-TO-ACTION
TENDING TO FOREVER CHEMICALS (PFAS)
LED BY TEKLA DRAKFRENDE
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 18TH AT 11:00 AM MOUNTAIN TIME
COST: FREE
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.

ABOUT THIS PROCESS
Shamans throughout time have used special techniques to tend to trauma and disasters. Our monthly Call-to-Action events apply these techniques in a practice known as Shamanism Without Borders.
Trained practitioners lead the group to tend to situations ranging from natural disasters, acts of terrorism, war and pollution, to anything that causes disruption and suffering to humanity, to the animal and plant life, and the earth’s delicate bio-system.
These events are by nature community healing events and provide an opportunity for anyone interested in being of service to participate. All are welcome!
