Jeff “KD” Meyers MD LAc is a multi-disciplinary artist, shaman, healer, and storyteller. Through decades of work he has cultivated a deep reverence for the mystery of life and for our capacity to heal, transform, and explore new frontiers.
With a lifelong interest in consciousness and the interconnectedness of mind, body, spirit, and community, he has ventured beyond conventional boundaries, blending his expertise in diverse healing traditions with his passion for the arts, spirituality, and helping others.
After years of seeking inner peace and exploring world spiritual traditions including Sufism, Buddhism, and “Hindu,” yogic, and syncretic traditions in India, he was gifted with resting in non-dual awareness in 2003. His return led him on an exploration of expanded consciousness including years of experience with indigenous, church-based, and syncretic traditions in South America which led to an unexpected and powerful emerging of archetypal and prophetic consciousness in his own life. He has received initiation in a number of spiritual traditions, and in 2009 was graced with the blessings of the Divine Mother who gifted him with the spiritually healing power of her song. He receives and offers transmissions in multiple spiritual lineages—including the lineages of Radha-Krishna, Advaita Vedanta, the Divine Mother, and the Holy Grail.
Recognized for his open-heartedness and compassion, his journey as an artist has focused on exploring forms used as ritual and power objects which derive their power from the irrational—i.e. “magic”—and offer transmissions that facilitate expanded consciousness and can evoke solace and healing.
His works are mystical forms, relics, religious icons, mystic diagrams, magical forms, and evoke essential states. They comment on the history and relationship of art, philosophy, spiritual practice, and healing, and evoke and manifest the “healing” power inherent in all forms. They derive inspiration from many sources including Hindu yantras, Buddhist mandalas, and Native American sand painting, as well as indigenous art, psychedelic experiences, and the mystical orientation of western art from the ancient “Mystery Schools” of Classical Antiquity, through Mannerism through Kandinsky and Mondrian.
The works teeter on the brink of painting, drawing, sculpture, collage, and installation and question the categorization of forms—serving as visual koans.
From KD: “These works are questions for contemplation. They serve as icons for imaginary churches and relics for imaginary shrines. They are religious/contemplative art for faiths and philosophies that do not yet exist, and for future manifestations/ incarnations/revelations of current faiths. They serve as a conduit, pouring forth from the infinite depths, the lost life-affirming stream of the inexhaustible Source of the Creation. They are a re-visioning of philosophy/spirituality/art/healing for this era.”
