J. Reuben Silverbird is coming to Australia in September/October: the son of a Nedhni Apache / (Chippewa) Medicine Wise Man, and Cherokee Medicine Woman, Reuben was born blind. His parents were highly recognized and praised by thespians, singers and musicians, from the regions based in the southwestern states of Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado. His Mother (a singer and healer) and Father (a performer in music and acting) had fruitless visits with Eye Specialists; finally, they brought their son back to a Traditional Medicine Man, and performed a sacred Indian Ritual - the four-day ‘Blessing-Way Ceremony’ (faith in the Creator, prayer, and incorporating hot water bathing into the ritual from thermal springs, from a holy place in New Mexico). At the age of four and a half, Reuben’s sight was restored. From this day forth, Reuben was considered a miracle-child. In having been born blind, the young Reuben Silverbird developed the deep intuitive ‘spiritual’ energy early in his life; it was shortly after his sight was returned to him, he witnessed a horrific accident involving his Mother - he began to have the first of several visions that would change and further deepen his path, an became the precursors into his deeper understanding of the world of spirituality.
Reuben first appeared on stage at age 6, a path where he has remained and distinguished himself ever since. He has appeared on Stage/Film/TV/Concerts in the USA, Europe and Asia, with stars such as Diana Ross, Eartha Kit and solo one man shows, singing his own original compositions. Reuben plays guitar, flute and other percussive instruments during his Native Spiritual Musical Concerts.
Who is Reuben Silverbird NOW you ask? Many years have passed since those important life changing events: Reuben is now considered to be an ‘Elder’. Mr. Silverbird is an accomplished Orator, having spoken at leading Universities such as Columbia, Stanford, Vienna University in Austria and in Geneva, Switzerland. His subjects are intertwined with words of wisdom, always with a touch of humor: he learned this skill from his father, by sitting and listening to him speak on delicate Religious issues with Bishops and other Catholic Clergy Officials; and, as well, the leading Politicians of that era. As a result of this training, Reuben’s mind is gifted with a wealth of material that helps him be at ease with any size or style of audience: the company of Dignitaries such as President Arafat, The Dalai Lama, Bobby Kennedy, Governor Clinton; countless other Officials from major cities on his world travels have greeted and applauded his dedication to his work of ‘Love for Peace’ amongst all peoples. He travels extensively with The Universal Peace Federation and is attached to the United Nations as an NGO.
