This presentation will be a personal and theoretical exploration of the relationship between Jungian psychology and shamanic practices of indigenous peoples. We will examine the dialectic between Jungian psychology and shamanism by highlighting the overlapping ideas, intersecting beliefs, and divergent aspects of both perspectives. We will also identify some of the ways in which shamanic ritual can provide a portal into the transpersonal realm of the psyche and inform our psychological attitudes.
