Well, I would rather say there are probably way too many people, who would totally trust such a place with their whole health, just because of the name and some other esoteric buzzwords like indigenous, ancient wisdom.
I do have great respect for "real" shamans. But I met way too many fake ones, handing out horrible and dangerous advice, while glowing in their self declared illuminative state of higher consciousness.
Yeah its interesting because I've had absolutely game changing experiences with real shamans, and then bad experiences with phony ones. If you find a good one, stick with them
Most are quite harmless and you still can have interesting conversations with them. Some are more weird and even dangerous, like this individual, which I have not met personally, but people like him.
