'''Urban Shamanism''', also known as Digital Shamanism or [[Psychedelia]], is an artistic school of thought born out of the social upheavals of the past four decades, the artistic and technological movements of the 20th century, and the philosophies of various non-western cultures. It parallels and is often associated with [[Technopaganism]]. Within art, the Digital Psychedelic process is the fusion of the biological and technological to elicit a mystical experience, self-realizing truth, or moment of profundity.
[[Komatsu Kiyoko]], the founder of a Japanese "new religion" [[Shinmeiaishinkai]], practices a form of [[shamanism]] that focuses on business-related oracles which also has been described as "urban shamanism."
