People in conscious communities often pay lip service to shadow work, but what does it truly mean to embrace darkness—both the darkness of the world and within our own hearts? Snow Raven (Haar Suor), a member of the shamanic Sakha people from Arctic Siberia, knows darkness intimately, and it has inspired her transformative music from America's Got Talent to Burning Man.

On the show, we discuss the Sakha Republic as one of the darkest places on Earth and explore how mental health challenges can be seen as an initiation into shamanism. We delve into the 12 levels of Arctic Shamanism and how Snow Raven was chosen to carry the sacred drum. We also touch upon the beauty of darkness through Eamon's personal vision of a raven. Snow Raven shares her iconic Reindeer Breath Arctic beatboxing and explains why she considers TikTok to be a platform for small rituals.

Born in a small village in Sakha (Arctic Siberia), Snow Raven began learning the language of birds and animals at just three years old. Her voice, deeply rooted in traditional Sakha culture, is truly an instrument. As the originator of "Arctic Beatbox"—the reindeer breath—and the creator of "Neoshamanic Healing" ceremonies, Snow Raven brings a unique perspective to our conversation about meeting all parts of ourselves.
