Epi 11: “Shamanic Practices & Western Medicine”

Guest: Jerry Buie

Join Alex and John for an enlightening conversation with special guest Jerry Buie, MSW, as they explore the intersection of shamanic practices and Western medicine. Jerry, a seasoned practitioner of indigenous and shamanic traditions, challenges us to examine how Western medicine often leans toward an ego-centric and knowledge-driven framework that distances us from our natural connection to the land and each other.

This episode invites listeners to reflect on how societal norms and technologies may contribute to this disconnect and offers guidance on integrating ancestral wisdom into our daily lives. Jerry encourages us to approach what feels “different” with curiosity and wonder, weaving sacred practices into our lifestyles beyond the scope of professional roles.

Do you embody the values you speak of, or is there a disconnect between your actions and words? This episode is an invitation to align your life, actions, and intentions with the practices you hold sacred.
