The Musician Healer: Transforming Art into Medicine

Islene Runningdeer’s The Musician Healer is beautifully written, precise and sensitive in its language and full of tremendous wisdom, experience, deep thinking and feeling, and courage. Runningdeer has honoured and brought together all the different facets of her background, combining them into a spiritually harmonious point of view that supports an approach to combining music and healing perfectly. As someone who is sometimes a musician healer as well, I learned a lot and was very moved by it all. I was thoroughly engaged throughout and truly moved.

—David Leisner, guitarist, composer, author, teacher

Runningdeer writes like a spider spinning her web­—circling and diving, drawing sticky connections and mind-expanding shapes. This book is an offering to a suffering world and to musicians who are yearning to transmit good through their gifts. — MARY BONHAG, Artistic Director, Scrag Mountain Music

The beauty of the objective frequency in music to provide healing and love is excellently transmitted in this unique text. A heartfelt and genuine connection with ancient lifetimes and ancestors brings moments of perfection and clarity, as the sum total of everything acquired is realized in the present moment. Runningdeer brings lessons of giving and awareness in service to the light. — JULIAN HOBSON, Energy Healer and Editor of Embrace Your Divine Flow (2023)
