SWB Community Call-to-Action: Tending to Afghanistan
May 18, 2021 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm MDT
Free
Society for Shamanic Practice invites you to join us on Tuesday, May 18th from 12-1 PM MDT for a Shamanism Without Borders online event Tending to Afghanistan led by Joan Levergood.
Afghanistan is a country at the crossroads of Central and South Asia. It is bordered by Pakistan to the east and south; Iran to the west; Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan to the north and China to the northeast. People have been settling here for at least 50,000 years.
The people and region of Afghanistan have been suffering from the tolls of war, terrorism and conflict for a very long time. This land and its people have lived under armed conflict and occupation for many years. After two decades, the most recent military presence, the United States, is moving out of Afghanistan.
We are asked to tend the suffering of armed conflict, war and occupation for Afghanistan. From a neutral place of non-judgment, Joan Levergood will guide us through this tending using the Shamanism Without Borders process.
Come together through the power of community and help to generate a greater impact within the world.
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.
