As a 6th generation shaman, Shaman Durek is as knowledgeable, connected, intuitive and insightful as they come. But what makes him the world-renowned public figure he has become today - and why Gwyneth Paltrow herself counts him as her spiritual teacher - is his ability to make ancient wisdom accessible, and, I believe, his unabashed and unapologetic way of making us listen to the wisdom we have b...

We all know our sun sign, but what does our moon sign represent? How can we use the moon to more effortlessly navigate our lives? How can we use the zodiac to understand our core self better?
