It has been supplanted with a very commercial, toxic and virulent tendency created by the consumerism. I remember talking diverse topics whit people with out anyone springing out of the bush saying "I'm a Shaman" or a "medicine woman" just because they have traveled to South America and then put a McKiosk using and abusing of ancestral medicines. Sort a fake spirituality that hides very dangerous tendencies like sociopaths and narcissists disguised as Gurus, Shamans or Medicine women. Because of this some people has stepped out and choose to share the knowledge with selected people.
Oh goodness, I agree, being spiritual became "cool" and the "new thing" to do!!! Unfortunately, to your points once something gets commercialized we already know what happens. Lechugo, dont get us started on the folks that gave themselves titles they did not even understand, or wanted to "heal" people without even knowing who they were first...very nuanced, my sister and I are going to go more into these topics! You are rt many genuine healers stepped back and became more selective while others were just drowned out by those with bigger followings...To be continued...Thank you for chiming in!!
You know… now that it’s been mentioned, I have realized it too. I wonder why as well? Did the pandemic put a major pause or even a shift? Or was it something completely different and coincidental? This is very thought provoking.
The pandemic affected all services in all worlds for sure, not to mention that on personal levels the pandemic triggered changes for so many people and businesses wether they had planned on them or not. However, I believe that it is a mixed bag of different reasons because I started to notice the decline and the implosion of many spiritual communities and healers and metaphyiscal spaces years before the pandemic...Thank u for chiming in!!!

For example this lady ( https://www.instagram.com/movimiento_renacer_/ )
She has made a negocio by bastardizing tribal knowledge and ceremonies. Like here there are other that has been cut with the same pair of scissors.
