I used to consider myself an atheist for most of my life.
After having a near death experience, I decided it was time to explore spirituality, I strongly dislike the Abrahamic cults because they promote violence, so I started studying Taoism, pantheism and shamanism, I always had an interest for these religions but had not looked at them deeply. I also studied Zoroastrianism and Buddhism, I like the Zoroastrian religion but monotheism doesn't make any sense to me, I have a very good relation with Buddhists, but it doesn't resonate with me, I reject Hinduism due to their hierarchical caste system.
I'm currently living in the Northeast region of Brazil, where I'm building a self-reliant intentional community with a few friends.
We study and practice shamanism at least once a week, we often use sacred plants like Ayahuasca and Jurema in our rituals.
