Venus Rising's Shamanic Ministers' Global Network
The Shamanic Ministers’ Global Network is a worldwide association of Shamanic Ministers ordained through the Venus Rising Association for Transformation.
As members of the Shamanic Ministers’ Global Network, Shamanic Ministers are legally ordained by Venus Rising Association for, a 501c3 tax exempt church recognized as such by the Internal Revenue Service of the United States.
Shamanic Ministers all share the same commitment to awaken the shaman within and embody shamanic consciousness in everyday life. Shamanic Ministers support members of friends, family, and community members in embracing one basic concept central to the shamanic perspective. This concept is that the cycle of death and re-birth is a constant and that our lives become incredibly enriched when we consciously embrace this awareness rather than fight it. While individual Shamanic Ministers within this global network may use different tools to awaken shamanic awareness within those around them, all begin with this core understanding.
Shamanic Ministers ordained through Venus Rising are rightfully entitled to all privileges and respect granted to one so ordained.
