This article was co-written by longtime intellectual collaborators, Juan Negrín and William Meyers, based on a journey they took together to Wixarika territory and ongoing conversations they shared about comparative spirituality, religion, and studies on shamanism. The article is illustrated with photographs taken by Juan Negrín and was published in New York City's long running Free Spirit magazine that Meyers served on.
