This post is about a funny french guy named Damien (left). He happened to notice me on my bike in some god-lost village near Essaouira. He was walking with his shaman, an old moroccan man full of wisdomness and depthity, and said, “nice bike dude!”. On the right, here I am with Ashak, the old shaman, in his home. This is a photo of his whole home, which wasn’t hard to take considering it measures 4 square meters.
Another picture of where Ashak lives, this time from the outside. This the Mellah, the jewish neighborhood of Essaouira. Their ceilings are literally falling on their heads, and none of these buildings are abandoned. Bottom line is, I spent one week in Damien’s house in Essaouira, amazing place of material poverty, inner wealth, and above all compassion.
Learning second language would give one self confidence to look the world in a different perspective. You have made me to realize that in a moment on reading this article. Thanks for sharing this in here. By the way you are running a great blog.

i would like to visit your shaman friend when i am there. I love to visit traditional healers whereever i go. Do you know how to reach him or have an address for him?
ReplyDeleteHello Rosemary! That's great, I'm honored to hear that. However it would be hard to give you a way to contact him. Damien had an address and a phone number, but as of now he's not in Essouira anymore. I don't think Ashak has a street number, he just lives down that hallway you can see in the picture, in a door on the right. No phone either.
DeleteThat's why it's hard to plan anything in this kind of place, you just have to basically let things happen to you and were it leads! Sorry that's all the advice I can give.
I wish you awesome travels though, and simply by having an intention, everything you want will happen to you.
