Max - shamanism

The client has recently ventured out into shamanism. I have limited knowledge of shamanism and what it entails so I need to research the subject so I can represent Max in the way he needs. 

Shamanism is a practice that involves a practitioner reaching altered states of consciousness in order to perceive and interact with what they believe to be a spirit world and channel these transcendental energies into this world. Shamans are said to treat ailments/illness by mending the soul. Alleviating traumas affecting the soul/spirit restores the physical body of the individual to balance and wholeness. Western medicine only looks at the physical symptoms of illness and disease whereas shamanism looks at the whole body, mind and spirit to understand what has caused the clients suffering. The nature of this work is deep and uncovers the root of the issues, it is helpful therefore to have the courage and commitment to the journey needed to heal.

I have asked Max what being a shaman entails - 

So from my understanding, shamanism is about healing the soul/spirit by reaching altered states of consciousness. The practice is very traditional and used in tribes, the shaman is responsible for the wellbeing of the community/family.
A traditional vibe for the logo would be perfect as Max's teachings were traditional and wants to convey the same aesthetic.
