Hearing Bradford Keeney tell his remarkable stories, you can't help but think of Indiana Jones. -Editors of UTNE MAGAZINE Brad Keeney's work is a living example of what we need in our field at this stage of evolution: a synthesis of traditional and modern, east and west, body and soul. -Gay Hendricks, PhD, author of Conscious Loving The Flying Drum redefines therapeutic culture: its wonderful stories open your heart and bring you to the healing power of the mysterious. Bradford Keeney is aunique mojo doctor, an unusual combination of archetypal magician, clown, warrior, therapist, professor, author, initiated healer from numerous cultural traditions, jazz pianist, bluesman, showman, storyteller ... and my holy brother. His passionate, fearless confrontation with human suffering and established rigidity inspires us to create new endings to old stories. -Carl Hammerschlag, MD, author of The Dancing Healers and a member of the Speakers Hall of Fame We all realize, somewhere in our souls, that the universe abounds in more magic than we dare dream.

This book is a practical mystery tour for everyone including people weary of New Age nostrums. -Jay Walljasper, author of All That We Share and former editor, Utne Reader I cannot begin to express how delighted I am about this book! I've been in the mental health field close to 30 years and the more I learn, the more I believe that counseling and therapy need to be reinvented. The Flying Drum brings us a unique alternative perspective filled with new insights for handling the everyday challenges of the human condition. I highly recommend this very fascinating read! -Brian S. Canfield, EdD, former President of the American Counseling Association
