Shamanism as Medicine by Claudia Goncalves

Shamanism as Medicine by Claudia Goncalves

I hold deep admiration for Cl udia's work and I am deeply grateful for her love and care for our indigenous women and people. Her words in this book echoes the words of our Earth Mother, our forests and waters

I am absolutely enthralled by the ability Cl udia has to translate and encapsulate huge multidimensional principles of shamanism into easily climbed steps on a staircase of learning. I am also profoundly moved by the clarity and specifics of each aspect of the Four Days Journey she shares about her experience of the Vision Quest. As a Grandmother who is committed to Sundance I will pass Cl udia's book to the men and women I am putting out to Cry for a Vision. Her words here will deepen the experience for us all. Wopila

This is how I see Cl udia's work: as well as an indigenous descendent, she is a warrior woman, who has been given the tools and mission to help others as well as help nature on the path of recovering ancestral wisdom, for healing, peace and love. In my heart she is my tribal sister.

The dedication of Cl udia's loving heart and mind is an inspiration to all who know her and we can consider her a blessing to be in our lives in these times. She has the strength of an elephant, the patience of a spider, the endurance of a hummingbird and the heart of a panther.

Cl udia is a visionary woman I admire, not only for her work but also for the devotion and purity of her service, bringing ancestral power back to the people and to the land. Brazil and Scotland are very fortunate to have her. She is the symbol of the perfect integration of two worlds.
