In the spirit of better understanding and new friendship Interfaith Chicago will be a space to share good information, positive discussion and informal community among people of different faiths. It is not our goal to convince one another to change or to argue about who is right. While I have studied sever …

From the founder: ""Shamanism" has become a fad today. People are coming out of the woodwork claiming they are shamans and have this training, this degree, this "magical belt".  Some will falsely claim that their "brand" is more valid than others because it comes from a certain place or culture.
