Totally buying the touristy theme park version of whatever other culture. No, the people at the resort don't actually think you're great. No, tripping with a self-proclaimed shaman who charges a month's local wage to resolve your mommy issues is not how the locals do mysticism.

    Does the self-proclaimed shaman actually resolve mommy issues though? Asking for a friend.

    Their primary job is to take your money, and make you believe you've been initiated into the new-agey secrets of the jungle and enlightened so you recommend them to other aggressively white idiots.

    I'd stick with the real mental health professionals.
