The Four Suns of Healing
Roberto Dansie, CEO, Cultural Wisdom
Abstract
We have calendars in the American continent that go back thousands of years. Researchers today confirm that these calendars not only measure the Macro-cosmos: They are also a sophisticated charting of the inner-world, particularly the dynamics between the body, the emotions, and the multiple elements that constitute our Self. These views are represented in calendars, ancient codices, and pre-Hispanic ceremonial centers. They are also alive in popular views, and traditional healing practices known today as Curanderismo. One of these perspectives is the use of the four suns. This presentation will explore this perspective.
Roberto Dansie is widely regarded as the most eloquent and accessible contemporary author on cultural diversity. He is an award winning speaker, trainer and clinical psychologist.
He has been repeatedly chosen as the keynote speaker by such prestigious organizations as the Mayo Clinic, Cornell University a CNN Center for Atlanta Youth Leadership Congress, Nebraska Health and Human Resources. Dansie, author of two books, Eternal Wellsprings and Semillas De Esperanza, has been in the educational arena for over 30 years. He has been a keynote speaker and trainer for numerous educational institutions such as the State of California Department of Education, Regional and National Migrant Education, Head Start, Even Start and Stream forums from the East to the West. He has been a member of the CDC and Moorehouse School of Medicine's Cultural Team for the past three years; this team includes such members as the past and present Surgeon General. He has been published in numerous health journals and is a regular columnist with The Consolidated Press and Indian Country Today, the nation's leading American Indian news source.
Among the awards received by Roberto are: The Humanitarian of the Year for 2005 form the International Center for Psychosocial Trauma at the University of Missouri-Columbia School of Medicine, the National Award for Community Development, the prestigious Golden Medallion from the National Indian Health Board for his contributions in Indian Health, The Cesar Chavez Award, and the Federal Award from the Administration on Aging. The Surgeon General of the United States has commended for "being a dedicated foot soldier for the health of the nation."
Roberto is a faculty member with the Psychosocial Trauma of War Institute of the University of Missouri-Columbia School of Medicine. Roberto won the World Championship of Martial Arts in Pussan, Korea and has shared and taught these skills to youth and families throughout the world. Roberto Dansie is a dynamic speaker, who continues to bring wisdom, joy, music, and inspiration to all he encounters. Each one of his presentations is like a Navajo sand painting, created for the specific healing of those who receive it.
