Dear Reader and Beautiful Allyu (Community),

As a Summit Host, it is my joy and honor to once again invite you to gather with us around the Cosmic Fire, where more than 30 wisdom keepers, healers, and shamanic practitioners will share stories of their journeys into sacred service.

Shamans Directory carries a mission close to my heart: to bring shamanic, earth-based wisdom to the world’s doorstep. As both a shamanic practitioner and a team member, this work has become a profound portal for growth, connection, and evolutionary change.

I am delighted to welcome you to join me and and the team at Shamans Directory for the Gathering At The Cosmic Fire Summit 2025 from 17-21 November, featuring 30+ honored shamanic earth-based healers, teachers, wisdom keepers, and thought-leaders who will uplift, inspire and guide us to step more fully into our true purpose and our own unique path in answering the call to sacred service. Each one of us is a carrier of wisdom and medicine, and the potential for change and healing in our world. Together, in unity and service, we can illuminate the way forward for our human family today — and for all of our relations in the generations to come.

Listening as a Path of Awakening

s I reflected on how my own shamanic path began, I found myself returning again and again to one essential doorway:
​

Listening.

Willingness to listen.

Deep, profound, soul-rooted listening.

This kind of listening is urgently needed in our world today. It is not passive—it is an act of will, an energetic muscle that must be exercised and awakened.

What does it mean to listen deeply?

Do we have the willingness to meet ourselves at the very center of our being and invite all our orphan parts back to the hearth of our hearts?

This willingness is both an action and a power.

In Andean cosmology, Munay—the Quechua word for unconditional love—is intimately connected with will. It is the freedom to choose, moment by moment, how we meet ourselves and the world around us. This is a practice of returning, again and again, to love.

To listen deeply is to trust yourself enough to soften into the altar of your own body—your inner cosmos—and begin to hear the murmuration of the miracle and majesty of your own beingness.

Are you listening?

‘Reach your hands high,
like branches to the sky,
you can hear what she says,
if you listen.

‘Cause the sound of the wind,
in the branches of the trees,
is the sound of your breath,
in your lungs as you breathe.

Are you listening?’

~ song piece by Eva

Friends, do you feel the call?
