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. 00:00 Exploring the Essence of Healing with Sufi Wisdom 01:04 Introducing the Healers Council: A Journey into Wisdom and Healing 01:24 Spotlight on Hillary and Bradford Keeney: Pioneers in Healing and Transformation 07:39 Brad Keeney's Journey: From Science to Shamanism 22:41 Hillary's Path: Zen Buddhism to Ecstatic Healing 34:35 Brad's Encounter with the Kalahari Bushmen: A Turning Point 40:39 Exploring Ecstatic Healing and Awakening 42:57 The Transformative Power of Ecstatic Experiences 44:52 Bridging Traditional Healing with Modern Challenges 47:50 The Journey from Fear to Passion in Healing 50:30 The Role of the Healer: Beyond the Conventional 01:02:31 Addressing Burnout with Ecstasy and Excitation 01:10:21 Integrating Sacred Ecstasy into Modern Healing Practices 01:17:02 Concluding Reflections and Future Directions http://sacredecstatics.com
