Joel Schafer is a personal empowerment mentor and shamanic dreaming arts teacher. His work is primarily based on Toltec knowledge, the tradition that inspired the book The Four Agreements. He teaches techniques to reclaim energy and awareness through online courses, workshops, and one-on-one sessions.
Joel and I delve into the depths of Toltec shamanism, exploring its principles, practices, and the transformative power of dreams. Joel shares his personal journey into shamanism, the significance of recapitulation, and how understanding death can lead to a more meaningful life. They discuss the deceptions present in the world, the importance of intuition, and the necessity of self-love in personal empowerment. The dialogue emphasizes the interconnectedness of all experiences and the potential for growth through challenges.
