HEALING THE DARK SIDE
The Shamans Art of Psychic Self Defense
A hands-on training for turning your demons into allies
Taught by our founder Alberto Villoldo PhD

Discover how to bring the darkest shadows to the light, and help free those caught in tangled psychic webs. Learn how to heal the toxic and dangerous energies that can wreak havoc on our physical and mental health, and engage the divine forces that bring healing. We lived in fear of the dark for a million years. Now, psychology denies those supernatural forces. Shamans know otherwise. You will gain the shamans’ tools and strategies for healing the dark side, as well as secrets for psychic protections, and preparing flower essences. Remember, whatever needs to hide in the dark has no true power of its own.
