“Iván’s presentation shed light on the distinct yet interconnected approaches to healing seen in Shamanic traditions and Western practices. He began by discussing the roots of Shamanism, which emphasizes a deep connection with nature, spirit, and the use of plant medicines in healing rituals. These ancient ceremonies focus on the holistic healing of body, mind, and soul, with a profound understanding of the emotional and spiritual dimensions of trauma. In contrast, Iván highlighted the Western approach, which often prioritizes science, clinical methodologies, and the psychological frameworks of healing. While effective, modern practices can sometimes overlook the spiritual and emotional layers that Shamanic traditions hold at the core. He emphasized that while these worldviews might seem at odds, they each offer valuable perspectives that, when integrated, can create a more complete approach to healing.”
