Shaking Medicine: Rediscovering Our Earliest Healing Practices

The Healers Council

Please join us for this enlivening, entertaining, and inspiring discussion with renowned healers and academicians Hillary and Bradford Keeney PhDs. Brad has been initiated into several indigenous traditions and is the subject of a book titled "American Shaman." We discuss healing, ecstatic transformation, and embracing a life filled with sacred ecstasy and passion. The Keeneys, with backgrounds in shamanism, psychotherapy, and academia, emphasize the transformative power of ecstatic experiences, heart-focused healing, and the non-traditional paths that lead individuals to become healers in the 21st century. Hillary and Brad share insights into their journeys and practices, illustrating how they infuse their healing work with creativity, spirituality, and celebration of life's vastness. The Keeneys also challenge contemporary healing practices by advocating for a more joyful, passionate, and mystical approach to life and healing.
