The mission of the Center is to provide sacred space, preserve the oral traditions, ceremonies, and practices in cultural communities as well as provide promotion & support to shamanic artists, wisdom teachers, & healers who have agreed to travel periodically to perform or teach their art through fire circles, drum journeys, workshops and many other activities that promote personal growth and increase respect and love for Pachamama - Grandmother Earth and all the beings who live here.

The Shamanic Arts Center hosts weekly videocasts @ TalkStory.Media. The Center also sponsors groups on Shamanic Saturdays such as Alchemical Painting, Shamanic Encounters, & an Artist's Way group as well as guest programs featuring traveling artists, healers, & wisdom teachers, and a yearly ceremonial encampment called Traveling Shamans Camp.
