NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF NATURAL MEDICINE

Keaton feels lucky and humbled to have the love of plants be a guiding force in her life. After years of travelling and studying ethnomedicine and working to protect the intellectual property rights of indigenous people who use them, she settled in rural Senegal, where she is a part of a Sufi community that believes that work and service can be our deepest form of prayer. She has spent the last years engaged in work surrounding conservation of medicinal plants, integrating plants and traditional medicine into rural clinics, and indigenous nutrition. She has a B.S. in Ecological Forestry, was a Fulbright recipient and has trained under various wonderful mentors as a clinical herbalist in the U.S. and abroad. She is interested in how plant medicine and nutrition can serve as a form of healing in all senses of the world- especially in the context of physical, spiritual and emotional wounds that are remnants from the ongoing effects of colonialism and imperialism. She appreciates most the mystical and profound in the simple and when she is not working with plants, she spends a lot of her time on the small tasks necessary to rural living- fetching water, washing clothes, sweeping and spending time with her young children. She will be beginning a doctorate of naturopathy at the National University of Natural Medicine, where she hopes to deepen her knowledge as a naturopathic practitioner, and return to Senegal to better serve her community. She is a proud Muslim and devotee to the Baye Fall spiritual path.
