From a very early age, Ben found himself drawn to indigenous cultures and their spiritual
practices, with a particular fascination for the paranormal. Indigenous peoples, as he
observed, live with a foot in two worlds. Across the globe, these cultures have historically
relied on the assistance of supernatural forces to aid them in their everyday lives.
By the age of 12 Ben was reading everything he could find about tribal cultures. Around the
age of 14 Ben began to learn of the traditional medical, psychological and spiritual practices
of a number of different tribes of North America. It was then that Ben decided that if he
ever found the opportunity, he would train under a traditional American Indian doctor.
While still in high-school, at the age of 17, Ben decided to live among the people he loved
and admired and moved to a community of predominantly Kiowa and Kiowa-Apache
Indians. During this time, Ben immersed himself completely in the culture and participated
in the tribal dances and spiritual and healing ceremonies. It was there that Ben met his
mentor, Horace Daukei, the last surviving traditional Kiowa doctor (Medicine Man). He
immediately recognized Ben’s capacity to become a healer. Ben felt very fortunate because
very few apprentices are chosen during a doctor’s lifetime.
Ben formally began his apprenticeship under Horace at the age of 20 and continued for the
next three years. As his assistant, Ben was able to see firsthand the phenomenal results of
these traditional medical practices. Additionally, Ben furthered his education by going on
vision quests, fasting for four days and nights without food and water. During these vision
quests, Ben would receive gifts of healing and develop the essential skills to further his
healing practice.
Since the time of the initial apprenticeship, Ben furthers his work by continuing with vision
quests and extensive study of medicine and psychology. More importantly, he continues to
help people heal by utilizing the gifts he has developed.
Ben’s greatest desire is to bring about a more profound level of healing in our society. By
sharing this form of healing he finds that people experience a greater state of health and
sense of wellbeing than they have previously known.
Bio from my Podcast One Sheet
After a succession of destructive relationships in his mid-twenties, Ben realized that he was
reenacting the traumas of his childhood and adolescence. Being very intuitive, he began to
develop an entire series of intensive meditation practices to facilitate the awakening of the
innate healing intelligence residing within the body and mind.
Ben began to explore a wide range of therapeutic interventions and soon thereafter returned
to the ancient practices he had learned while training with Horace Daukei, a traditional Native
American doctor (medicine man) from the Kiowa Tribe. Ben later went on to train with Chinese
Master Sifu Li Tai Liang. He has incorporated these practices that have their roots in the ancient
Taoist lineages.
As Ben continued to progress in his own healing journey, he could see these changes being
reflected back to him in the people he attracted into his life and in his relationships. Ben began
to facilitate this healing process for others, enabling them to let go of unhealthy attachments.
By releasing what no longer served them, they were able to attract healthier companions with
whom they could create more meaningful and deeply fulfilling relationships.
