Sparrow Hart Email & Phone Number

Founder of Circles of Air, Circles of Stone, Sparrow Hart undertook his first wilderness rite of passage in 1971 -- a 5-month solo pilgrimage in the Cascades and Canadian Rockies -- and enacted his first vision quest in 1980. Over the last 30 years he has taught and practiced both modern and indigenous approaches to healing. During that time he's studied with a variety of native and non-native "medicine teachers" in the United States and Mexico.Although widely-read and well-versed in mythology and the sacred traditions of the world, his work comes out of his own experience. His personal journey includes a wide range of shamanic practices; apprenticeship with the Native American teacher, Sun Bear; dream exploration; the twelve steps; psychodrama, inner child work, and a long immersion in the Toltec and Castaneda tradition. He aspires to be a simple human being, a man on his journey, a person of the earth; and he's recognized as having a unique ability to bring matters of the spirit into the present, to make the ancient teachings of the connectedness of all life relevant to our modern and personal worlds.His work is firmly in the tradition of "joining Earth and Sky;" bringing spiritual life out of the heavens and into the nitty-gritty issues we face daily, and affirming the sacredness of the emotional, imaginative, and sensual landscapes we travel on our individual soul journeys. He is currently in the process of completing two books -- a practical manual on the vision quest, and "Letters to the River," a lyrical exploration into deep ecology and its implications for living beyond the current definitions of the self.

Listed skills include Teaching, Personal Development, Coaching, Public Speaking, and 45 others.
