Common Threads
Many common threads have woven
Lewis Mehl-Madrona into the Daré kin net:
our recognition of Story as central to healing,
and of each person as a Storyteller,
our commitment to incorporating indigenous
wisdom traditions and ritual practice into contemporary life,
and our shared vision of community healing circles.
We are also intimately allied through
a practice we call ReVisioning Medicine.
Lewis Mehl-Madrona's personal goals include furthering a paradigm shift
within medicine, psychiatry and psychology toward aligning
with indigenous knowledge systems and healing practices.
Lewis Mehl-Madrona's books:
Coyote Medicine, Coyote Wisdom,
Coyote Healing, Narrative Medicine.
