Kedar Brown

Kedar Brown is the founder and director of Rites of Passage Council, an organization offering nature immersion and ceremonial encampments around the world. He is an internationally-known ceremonialist, healer, cowry shell diviner, intuitive, and teacher of psychological and spiritual awareness with over thirty-five years of professional experience.

Over this time, Kedar has developed an effective and unique approach to emotional and spiritual healing by braiding together his depth of clinical knowledge of experiential psychotherapies with more nature-based, indigenous wisdom teachings and healing methods from around the world.

Kedar is a member of an International Wilderness Guides Council and known for his ability to blend many creative and expressive forms of depth psychology with more ancient methods of healing through vision quest ceremonies, sweat lodge ceremonies, Rites of Passage experiences, and personalized ceremonies and rituals in his work with groups and communities.

In 1994, Kedar apprenticed with Steven Foster and Meredith Little at School of Lost Borders in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, in the form and process of the vision quest ceremony and eco-psychology. He has also apprenticed for many years with Elder Malidoma Some, Ph.D., of the Dagara tribe of Burkina Faso, West Africa, learning indigenous methods of healing emotional trauma and relationship challenges through various forms of ritual processes and intuitive divination readings. Kedar has also had the honor and privilege to learn many valuable insights into healing from his apprenticeship with Cherokee elder and medicine person, Will Rockingbear.

“I have known Kedar for a long time as a man of spirit with remarkable devotion to healing. He tends to his duty with royalty and ferocious commitment. As a man who hears the call of Earth and Nature, Kedar extends his hand to those in quest of change and transformation and is always willing to lead them into and guide them through a deep sense of communion with themselves. Having worked with him in a number of rituals and ceremonies and watched carefully the way he gives of himself to spirit, I have come to respect his priestly devotion to the sacred in Nature and in every human. His work deserves respect and reverence.”
