Scholar Salon 3
Announcing Scholar Salon 3: Arieahn Matamonasa on Mongolian Shamans, Dec. 11
Lessons from the Roadless Road: Mongolia in 2019
Arieahn Matamonasa, Ph.D., DePaul University, Chicago, IL
Date and time: Wednesday December 11, 2019, 1:00 PM Central Time
Dr. Matamonasa writes,
“I am a clinical psychologist, researcher and cross-culturally trained traditional healer. My lifelong work has been building bridges between indigenous healing and worldviews and Western psychology. In the Summer of 2019, I traveled with a group of nine other Westerners to visit the ancient steppes and valleys of Mongolia to visit the people of Khuvdgal, the Darkhad Valley and Tsagaan Nuur. These people represent the world’s oldest shamanic traditions that have persisted despite years of persecution and oppression. The world’s remaining Indigenous people are the keepers of our human intellectual and ecological knowledge through deep time. This presentation highlights some of my experiences and the lessons that are invaluable for modern cultures in this time of ecological, spiritual and social crisis.”
Highlights will include:
- Stepping back in time: Vast, ancient wild spaces
- Community in the West: ‘downloaded’ but not installed
- Shaman’s Warnings: Consumerism and predatory cultures
