Wisdom Keepers and Seekers:
A Working Definition
For centuries, Native American and indigenous cultures have identified the elders and teachers in their communities as Wisdom Keepers.
Wisdom Keepers have been revered and trusted not only for their sharp minds, but their compassionate hearts and strong spirits.
Able to embody and impart sacred, holistic teachings, and to nurture a humble-yet-potent relationship with the Great Mystery, Wisdom Keepers have helped their communities through hard times for generations. Both spiritually and practically, they’ve served their communities by bringing everyone in the tribe closer together, as well as closer to the earth, and the cosmos.
Many of us are Wisdom Seekers, longing for the healing and empowering guidance Wisdom Keepers have traditionally provided in the past, But we have lost touch with the ways of our ancestors. Very few of us still live in indigenous or traditional communities where elders are respected and responsible for passing down ancient, experientially-tested wisdom to the younger generations.
Because of this, many of us turn to modern-day professional Wisdom Keepers
for support and inspiration. Professional Wisdom Keepers —
or Healing Arts practitioners — are today’s therapists, healers, coaches, bodyworkers, astrologers and more.
As professional Wisdom Keepers, sharing knowledge and techniques is only half of our task. Discovering how to share, with whom, when, how much, why, and where make up the other portion. Walking a Fine Line — this course and related book — speaks to the wisdom, skill, art and balance we all need to live and serve with integrity.
