A journey of multi-cultural/dimensional healing
In this episode of "The Science of Self-Healing", UCLA professor of World Arts and Cultures/Dance David Shorter is interviewed by Dr. Sharon Stills. The podcast discusses his approaches to alternative medicine based on traditional treatments from around the world, including healing through dreams and using body work such as massage to heal energy and emotions.
"Dr. David Delgado Shorter is Professor of World Arts and Cultures/Dance at the University of California Los Angeles. The author of an award-winning book and the recipient of the University's top teaching award, Dr. Shorter has created three digital publications, produced and directed an ethnographic film, and curated exhibits both on-line and in Los Angeles. His research includes over two decades of collaboration with an indigenous community in Mexico and studying the borderland between the objective and intersubjective sciences. He has been interviewing psychics, mediums, and ufologists for the last decade, joining others to expand our definition of truth and knowledge.
In 2016, Shorter became the Director of the Archive of Healing, a database of medicinal folklore from around the world. The database is drawn from six university archives, over 3,200 books, and over thirty years of first hand and second hand anthropological data, spanning seven continents. This recent work connects David’s role as a scholar to his personal journey, having been raised by a Mexican midwife, having apprenticed with a tribal healer, and establishing his own private practice in healing and plant medicine.
"My Message... Our modern medical system has severed itself from ancestral knowledge." -Dr. David Shorter"— Dr. Sharon Stills, Feb. 25 2021
