Shamanism: Chicago’s most active Startup investor is also a Shaman

Alan Matthew (http://www.tribalventuresllc.com/) is one of the most interesting (and accomplished) individual you will come across in Chicago and we are pumped to have him speak about Shamanism, "the original biohackers".

Thirty years ago, Alan started his career at $2/hr job at the Board of Trade. Fast forward to today, Alan is Chicago’s most active angel investor (http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2012/09/an-angel-investors-eye-view-on-the-chicago-start-up-scene/262509/), an international entrepreneur (traveled over 80 countries), a published photographer in the New York times, an avid Burning Man participant and Shamanic healer for over 17 years.

It’s rare to see an accomplished trader/entrepreneur/investor from the western world venture to the other side and embrace Shamanism. Needless to say, this is going to be one of the most interesting talks yet!

Some of the things we will cover:

• Shamanism 101

• Actionable biohacks from Shamanic traditions

• Their philosophies and medicines

• Best practices and cover common misnomers

• Q & A

Because space is limited, there is a $5 cost to attend the event but that includes a delicious healthy dinner and wine ($10+ value).
