SHAMANIC CONVERSATION refers to all spirit-filled conversations that can radically transform the participants. As opposed to everyday talk (and psychotherapy), it often appears irrational and absurd because it speaks to and engages with the deepest regions of unconscious mind where the soulful wilderness of spirit resides. It is a voicing of the word souls - what the Guarani Indians of the lower basin Amazon call the conversations of inspired shamans.

SHAMANIC CONVERSATION shakes the mind with a conversational encounter that aims to recognize, strengthen, and celebrate your relationship with spirit. You get there through unexpected ideas and surprising actions that help reveal new possibilities for your life. This work includes the prescription of trickster rituals designed to shake up your everyday routines and make you more open to a creative unfolding. 

Like shamans of old who enter the wilderness to find inspirational transformation for their constituents, SHAMANIC CONVERSATION journeys into the wilderness of the mind, where soulful guidance and blessed expression are waiting to spring forth. Dr. Keeney’s SHAMANIC CONVERSATIONS invite you to shake your mind and everyday routines, readying you for the inner and outer mysteries.
