Experience Huichol Shamanism
in Tepic, Mexico.
Summer 1998
God
is alive and well on planet Earth
and can still be found
hanging out in a few dark places.
The question is,
is a mirror bright enough?
Living in small, scattered settlements high in the
Sierra Madre Mountains of central-western Mexico, is an indigenous
tribe of very unique and magical people known as the Huichols. Due to
the extreme remoteness of the territory and the rugged mountion
ranges, the Huichols were never conquered by the Spaniards nor
greatly changed by Mexican culture. They are one of the last tribes
in North America who live much as they did in pre-Colombian times.
The Huichols believe themselves to be "Mirrors of
God" and try to reflect a sacred vision of the world both physicallly
and spiritually. To the Huichol, everything is alive and has a soul
and is therefore divine. They are a deeply religious people whose
beliefs encompass every aspect of life.
The Huichol are highly creative people and reflect
their strong ceremonial traditions and rich mythology in their
visionary art work. These visions are often inspired by the use of
peyote whose divine gift enables them to commune with God.
Details of the trip will be avaialble here in
