Back in 2018, a tall, dark, and incredibly straight-talking man adorned in colorful, tribal fashion came to my house for a five-hour marathon podcasting session that was nothing short of magical. We stayed up until 4 AM going on an epic journey into the depths of our souls, calling in great spirits and drawing on shamanic, ancestral wisdom to learn profound solutions for deep healing.
Now, almost exactly 100 episodes later, Shaman Durek returns for another serious session of Spirit Hacking. In this episode and in his book — Spirit Hacking: Shamanic Keys to Reclaim Your Personal Power, Transform Yourself, and Light Up the World — Durek reveals even more life-altering wisdom and the powerful techniques that have made him a close spiritual adviser to people like Bulletproof Coffee founder and past guest Dave Asprey.
We’re all going to go through shifts and transformations in this new year, in this new decade, in this Great Awakening — and many of those transformations will likely be messy — but with this wisdom and perspective, we can come out on the other end better than ever before.
