Talking Grief and Healing | Karen Johnson

This week we welcome to the show Karen Johnson. Karen is a shaman, healer, and former judge. She was catapulted into the life of a healer when her son died suddenly of a heroin overdose at the age of twenty seven. Leaving her old life behind, Karen embarked on a multi-year spiritual quest around the world, ultimately discovering -among many modalities and sources of spiritual nourishment- shamanic energy medicine. (Karen is actually my teacher at the Four Winds Academy, which comes up a couple of times in the show.) She joins us today to talk about her brand new book, Living Grieving: Using Energy Medicine to Alchemize Grief and Loss. A really great chat about a really powerful topic. Enjoy.
