30. Animist Storms & the Five Shen ft. John Anderson

Following Hurricane Ian, John Anderson joined me in St. Petersburg, Florida for an extended visit.

We sat down one evening to (finally) record one the many longform conversations we’ve had the benefit of enjoying recently.

Together, John and I explore the intersection of Chinese Medicine, Daoist philosophy, temporal arts, and animist attitudes towards not only weathering Anthropocene storms, but living and realizing the innate and creative wholeness that is our human spirit.

ABOUT JOHN:

John is a fellow Revelore Press author (see The Way of the Living Ghost, and Opening the Vermillion Spirit).

John Anderson is a practitioner and teacher of several styles of Asian medicine having received his Master’s degree in Oriental Medicine at the Florida College of Integrative Medicine (FCIM) and his Doctorate in Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine at the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine (OCOM). Dr. Anderson’s formal training extends to the use of herbal medicine from the perspective of Chinese medicine, both classical (ShangHan method) and contemporary (through the Ding/Shen/Hammer lineage).

In addition to his formal education in Chinese Medicine, he has had training in Lakota practices and in Eastern esoteric herbal medicine and Chinese folk medicines. As part of his broader learning process, he has worked with plants, stones, and other natural ingredients for the better part of twenty years, beginning with many aspects of contemporary European paganism. This interest evolved and grew to encompass Eastern philosophies and practices. His ongoing research interests include: Gu syndromes, virtue medicine in tradition of Wang Fengyi, Daoist and Buddhist exorcistic practices, and Disability Studies at large. His work on Gu has appeared in Verdant Gnosis, volume 4. Opening the Vermillion Spirit is the second of three books, following on his 2019 Way of the Living Ghost.

Integral Imprint: Books that open the future
“Becoming Gaia is a path-breaking book. Drawing together a wide range of creative thought, Sean Kelly offers an engaging vision of an integral ecology for our times. There are few books as comprehensive in reach or compelling in insight. I trust it will inspire reflection and transformation for our urgent task — becoming part of the living Earth community.”
-Mary Evelyn Tucker, Yale University, co-author, Journey of the Universe

Coming home to books is one of the best feelings!

Both feature @jdj_writes - one as the author, the other as the editor. Might not get to them for a couple weeks/months, but can't wait to dive in. Thanks @revelorepress they look great! pic.twitter.com/xPAmYSBiUM
