This tour lets you experience Shamanism — with the context to understand what's really happening.

Begin with a 30-minute cultural introduction that goes beyond surface-level explanation. You'll understand what separates a spirit-called shaman (Gangsinmu) from a hereditary one (Sesupmu), and trace the roots of Korean shamanism from the Dangun myth through centuries of suppression to its living presence today.

Then meet a practicing shaman for a private one-hour reading — chosen based on your intention and guided by live interpretation, so you understand not just the words, but the meaning behind them.

This is not a performance. It's a rare, personal encounter with something most visitors to Korea never find.
