Notes

Laughlin and Rock note that general acceptance of the "shamanic principle" has led to broad acceptance of shamanic practice in various spiritually oriented groups, like New Age spiritual groups. [2] We see this as it becomes stylish to suggest that academics should become shamans.[3] Her conceptualization, however, removes a key feature of shamanism, which is that shamans pursue Connection Experience.
