Timeline

1921

Following her study of TMM, she continued to work in Mongolia as a Health Education Training Specialist with the World Bank/UN Development Programme, consulting for the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Education Programme for the 21st Century.

While working in Mongolia, Carey became familiar with nomadic herders living a traditional lifestyle in the Gobi Desert.

Sas Carey (born 1945) is an American film director, author, teacher, holistic nurse and spiritual healer.

She is best known for her four feature documentaries: Gobi Women's Song, Ceremony, Migration and Transition and her book Reindeer Herders in My Heart: Stories of Healing Journeys in Mongolia, and founding the non-profit Nomadicare, which works to support and preserve traditional Mongolian nomadic culture through healthcare, films and stories.

Carey was born in the state of Washington, United States, at the end of World War II.

She later moved to the Northeastern United States, where she pursued a degree in education at Western Connecticut State University and Keene State College.

She also has a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (1983) and Master of Education degree from the University of Vermont.

She has lived in Mongolia, France, Sweden, China and Denmark, and currently lives and works in Middlebury, Vermont.

Carey is a mother, grandmother, and Quaker.

After teaching second grade and working as a professional clay sculptor, Carey became a Registered nurse and started a private practice in holistic nursing.

She also founded the Alternatives for Teens program, which promotes teens' discussion of issues important to them and sets up group events as alternatives to drug and alcohol use.

1990

In 1990, the program received one of ten Exemplary Prevention Programs Awards given nationally from the United States Department of Health and Human Services.

1995

In 1995, she returned to Mongolia under a grant to study Traditional Mongolian medicine (TMM) with Dr. B. Boldsaikhan at the Institute of Traditional Medicine in Ulaanbaatar.

She became one of the first two Americans to receive a certificate of Physician of Traditional Mongolian Medicine, an experience documented in the film Steppe Herbs, Mare's Milk, and Jelly Jars.

1999

In 1999, she was hired as an Office of Safe and Healthy Students consultant for the state of Vermont.

2000

She has traveled in rural Mongolia nearly every year since 2000.

2001

In 2001–2004, she conducted a study of health practices in Manlai, South Gobi, interviewing doctors, nurses, bonesetters, administrators, and nomadic women.

2003

In 2003, Carey extended Nomadicare's work to include the Dukha reindeer herders of the Mongolian Taiga.

One traveler in the Taiga described Carey: "in her mid-60s and a reluctant horsewoman, but she has spent the past seven summers riding round the 44 nomadic families in East Taiga to collect data".

For a decade Nomadicare provided traditional Mongolian medicine training, laboratory supplies and general training to rural Gobi and northern Mongolia's rural health centers' health professionals.

It also helped American and Mongolian life sciences students to study with nomadic peoples Jane Goodall, PhD, said "I fully support the work of [Sas Carey’s] Nomadicare as it seeks to preserve Mongolia’s nomads through health care."

Today, Nomadicare is focused on preserving the traditional culture of Mongolia through films and stories.

In addition to Steppe Herbs, Mare's Milk, and Jelly Jars and Gobi Women's Song, Carey has produced a number of short films about the Dukha herders.

Her films have been presented at the Rubin Museum of Art, Green Mountain Film Festival, Vermont International Film Festival, and the Woodstock Film Festival.

The study became the basis of her 2006 documentary Gobi Women's Song, of which a Mongolian ambassador has stated, "This is the real life of the people living in the Gobi Desert of Mongolia. I am from this place. I was born and grew up there".

Following the study in the Gobi, Carey conducted a seven-year assessment of the health of the Dukha reindeer herders in northern Mongolia.

After returning from Mongolia, Carey founded the Life Energy Healing School to teach students energy healing and health and prevention techniques using Traditional Mongolian Medicine integrated with modern health practices.

The school was based out of Middlebury, and included a correspondence and study-abroad curriculum, requiring prerequisites in western health sciences.

Carey also continued her work in the Gobi by founding the non-profit NGO Nomadicare, which supported the sustainability and cultural survival of nomadic peoples in Mongolia by harmonizing traditional and modern medicine and documenting nomadic ways.
