Shamanic practitioners Susan & Chris Marshall
Around the world, shamanism is a common practice for gaining knowledge and healing in indigenous as well as urban cultures. A 40,000 year old tradition, shamanism is the altering of consciousness to travel to spiritual realms to call on spirit power for the good of self, others, and all life. The term “shaman” comes from the Tungus of Siberia, but core shamanic methods are found on every continent and don’t derive from any single tradition’s sacred rituals.
In this interactive session, we’ll explain key points about shamanism, experience the drum, and interweave questions and discussion. We’ll talk about the journey to explore spirit worlds and get information, power animals and spirit teachers, and how the shaman works by clearing intrusions, power imbalances and doing soul retrieval. Most of us can learn to evolve relationships with spirit teachers and power animals for receiving guidance and healing, and
we’ll present some next steps for those interested.

Chris Marshall is a retired professor of anthropology and shamanic practitioner. Susan is a registered art therapist, shamanic practitioner, and a graduate of the advanced three-year training program of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies. They have been studying and practicing shamanism for 28 years and have taught basic and advanced classes in core shamanism for 25 years.

opportunities for innovations that can get better food to more people in an increasingly urbanized world.
Metcalfe follows a slice of New York pizza and a club sandwich through the food supply chain; considers local foods, global foods, and food deserts; investigates the processing, packaging, and storage of food; explores
the transportation networks that connect farm to plate; and explains how food can be tracked using sensors and the Internet of Things. Future food may be engineered, networked, and nearly independent of crops
grown in fields. New technologies can make the food system more efficient—but at what cost to our traditionally close relationship with food?

A collaboration with “POV,” PBS’ award-winning nonfiction film series. In the Arab-American neighborhood outside of Chicago where director Assia Boundaoui grew up, most of her neighbors think they have been under surveillance for over a decade. While investigating their experiences, Assia uncovers tens of thousands of pages of FBI documents that prove her hometown was the subject of one of the largest counterterrorism investigations ever conducted in the U.S. before 9/11, code-named “Operation Vulgar Betrayal.” With unprecedented access, The Feeling of Being Watched weaves the personal and the political as it follows the filmmaker’s examination of why her community fell under blanket government surveillance. The film follows Assia as she pieces together this secret FBI operation, while grappling with the effects of a lifetime of surveillance on herself and her family.
