About the Shamanic Arts Center
Preserving & Facilitating Exchange Shamanic Practices
The Shamanic Arts Center in the western Colorado mountains is a small cultural preservation non-profit that supports the preservation of shamanic practices.
Direct experience and exchange are facilitated by the Center in Hotchkiss, Colorado through its projects including:
* Traveling Shamans Camps
* Sacred Witness field trips

This website provides connection between host communities & shamanic artists, healers, wisdom teachers, & patrons through its shamanic network directories as well as through our media channel at www.TalkStory.Media
We are seeking patrons, sponsors, & and volunteers who believe as we do - that shamanic arts foster spiritual health and connection to our beloved Grandmother Earth and all the beings who live here.
May Artist in Residence - SD Youngwolf
SD Youngwolf
As an artist, I have been greatly influenced by my Cherokee heritage, my immersion in Indigenous culture, and world travels. My major mediums are oil painting, pastel, gourd art, and mask making. I have shown and won numerous awards at Native American art shows across the country. My hope is that my art will speak to the viewer's sense of wonder and connection with Earth and Spirit."
