Shamanism and Medicine Today with Alan Davis

Shamanism and medicine are blending in a variety of unexpected places across America. This week Alan Davis, MD, PhD, medical director for Quinney Rehabilitation Institute, discusses the merging of these medicines. Davis has been studying core shamanism for a decade.

Join us as we discuss how this successful MD came to core shamanism and why he finds great joy and community in this part of his life. We will explore how these disciplines are blending and enriching each other.

Davis is also the president of the Board of Directors of the Society of Shamanic Practitioners (SSP) here in the US. The SSP is “an alliance of people deeply committed to the re-emergence of shamanic practices that promote healthy individuals and viable communities.” Their annual conference will be held June 18-21 at Menla Mountain Retreat in the Catskills Mountains. Alan will discus Bantu Medicine men, the “Temple of Spirit”, a Corn Oracle and other adventures available at this year’s SSP conference.
