Ep 267 - Joel Schafer | The Toltec Path of Shamanic Dreaming

In this episode we explore the Toltec path of shamanic dreaming — not as a philosophy, but as a living practice of perception, impeccability and energetic freedom. Joel Schafer shares his story of entering this work at a young age, what it truly means to reclaim attention from the “predator mind,” and how dreaming serves as a doorway into other layers of reality. We dive into the Toltec understanding of death as an ally, recapitulation as a path to restoring totality, and why true shamanic training requires power, humility, and self-honesty rather than substances or titles. This is a conversation for those who sense there is more to this world than meets the eye — and are ready to learn how to see.
