Caroline Casey

Visionary Activist Astrologer Caroline W. Casey will be brewing up her unique blend of "Trickster Medicine" this Saturday evening, October 17th at the 20th Annual Bioneers Conference in San Rafael.

Inspiring audiences with her brilliant wit and outside of the box thinking, Casey dreams up a new mythological story weaving current cosmological events with the political, social and cultural ones happening here on this planet. With the Sun about to enter the sign of Scorpio on October 22nd, this evening will animate that archetypal energy, focusing on death, sex, money, power and what Casey calls, “pragmatic mysticism and democratic animism.”

Joining Casey this evening is her long time ally, holistic medicine guru Dr. Andrew Weil. The two met in 1970, at a small mountain-top gathering where Weil told the tale of “The Magic Mountain, the Talking Bird and the Waters of Life,” from the Arabian Nights, a central story in Casey’s work. According to Bioneers, “What began that night has been waiting for this night, when these two, having followed such different paths, re-unite to spiral back into harmonious accord with all that has been falsely estranged: idealism and pragmatism, science and mysticism, activism and magic, humans and everyone else."

Caroline W. Casey is the creator-weaver-of-context of "The Visionary Activist Show" on Pacifica Radio stations KPFA in the Bay Area and KPFK in LA (also web and podcast). She has created the online Compassionate Trickster Experimental Juju Mystery School, and is the author of Making the Gods Work For You and the forthcoming Coyote Network News - The Compassionate Trickster's Guide to Serious Fun (because "If we're not having fun - we're just not serious enough").

Andrew Weil, MD, the nation’s most renowned exponent of a more holistic approach to medicine, is director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona (the leading effort in the world to develop a comprehensive curriculum in integrative medicine), and is also a clinical professor of medicine and a professor of Public Health there.

He is the author of many scientific and popular articles and of 10 books, including: The Natural Mind; Health and Healing; Natural Health, Natural Medicine; the international bestsellers, Spontaneous Healing, and Eight Weeks to Optimum Health, and most recently, Eating Well for Optimum Health; and Healthy Aging. Dr. Weil also, among many other endeavors, appears on PBS specials, writes a monthly newsletter, maintains a popular website (www.drweil.com), and writes a syndicated newspaper column.
