Joshua J Berry
Joshua was always interested in movement, music, art and the spiritual world ever since he can remember. When he was younger he concentrated on visual art and music, mainly in the form of illustration, painting, guitar and kept his body active with skateboarding. In his mid twenties he experienced some trying times that pushed him to look at his life and what he was contributing to this world. His oldest brother was also diagnosed with Schizophrenia during this time and eventually committed suicide after years of frequent hospitalizations and medications.
This was also a time where he realized he needed to understand how to be healthy in a more balanced way. He started actively studying: Capoeira, Yoga, Qi Gong, Meditation, dance and eastern philosophy. It awoke in him a love he had long since denied. He knew there was more of a connection between his emotional body, spirit, mental patterns and his physical being than he had previously known. He decided to make a change and start on a healing path by attending Massage Therapy School.
For the last 17 years he has studied Qi Gong, Yoga, Taoist Internal Arts and looked deeper into Eastern and Indigenous practices in addition to his bodywork studies. He is interested in healing in all its myriad forms. As he got deeper into the Taoist arts he took his studies further into the art of Tai Ji, Yi Jing (also spelled I Ching) and the shamanic roots of China. His Yogic studies, Taoist studies, Bodywork, Energy work and Shamanic studies all inform each other. He is interested in the common themes and the crossover of various traditions. He has also continues to study the communal Indigenous practices such as the elemental, ancestral, ritual and divination traditions inspired by the Dagara people from Burkina Faso, as well as the various plant medicine traditions of the Amazon of Brazil.
