soul activist, Pastor, author, guide
One of my favorite quotes from Bill Plotkin :
“. . . seeking and surrendering to those mysterious and enigmatic fascinations that promise to devastate us in all the right ways, turn our lives upside down and inside out, plunge us into magic and rapture, and in the bargain, liberate us from whatever doldrums our everyday lives may have marooned us in.”
(Wild Mind, page 97)
Bonefire Mentoring
The ancient Celts had a communal practice of lighting their family’s hearth fire with the flames of the village “bonefire.” We get the term “bonfire” from the practice. Let’s sit and tend the fire together.
Testimonials
“To trust a guide is to believe he or she has actually walked the territory and not just read the map. Dan knows the land of re-wilding, from its far horizons to each curve in the stream. He has been an intuitive and empathic guide to pilgrims in soul search for decades. Most of all, he has and continues to do the work of rewilding his own soul. As friend, fellow journeyer and coach, he has helped me locate just the areas in need of attention and soul work. Dan is a gift to all who seek to come back to their true selves.”

“Dan is inspirational!”
