“Getting Cooked”

with Bradford P. Keeney

 Portland, Oregon

Dr. Keeney's shaking medicine intensives provide an opportunity for transformational experiential learning. The ecstatic shamanic traditions of the world do not rely upon understandings to teach their transformative ways. Instead, you become spiritually awakened through direct encounters with spirit – the uplifting vibrations of consecrated shaking medicine. Among the Kalahari Bushmen, the world’s oldest and arguably strongest shamanic culture, direct contact with spiritual energy is the main teacher. This form of learning requires an ecstatic shaman who has mastered the art of working with what the Bushmen call n/om (kundalini, chi, holy spirit, or the universal life force), which is strongest with the inspiration of heightened love.

Workshops are now available that will introduce the oldest way of transforming the human body, mind, heart, and soul. This shamanic teaching aims to throw you into “God’s pot” so that over time you can become “fully cooked by God.” Bradford Keeney is authorized by elders of numerous healing cultures to work the spirit in this transformative way. He provides opportunities for immersions into the shaking medicine - revivals of the spirit - that can help you find and fulfill your destiny.

Keeney will give "talk" a radically different role in this teaching. He will not give any particular importance to “answers,” “insights,” “understandings,” “pledges,” or “calls to action” - a radical departure from most traditions of teaching spirituality. “Shamanic Conversation” will be used to liberate you from stuck habits of thought and action that separate you from a spirit-filled life. Here the soulful unconscious is called forth, encouraging the liberation of spirited expression.

Through ecstatic shaking of the body (Life Force Theatre) and transformative talk that shakes the mind (Shamanic Conversation), these intensives aim to further release soulful imagination, passionate inspiration, and blessed guidance. Shaking medicine tunes your mind/body/heart/soul and opens the door to the original mysteries of spirit. It is a journey to the Lost City of the Kalahari.
