Episode 19: Quests of a Cultural Pioneering Shaman with John Milton

“If you want to go back to the umbilical cord of the universe, check this out.”
This is how I was introduced to John P. Milton 20 years ago.

John P. Milton is a pioneering ecologist, spiritual teacher, meditation Master, vision quest leader, and shaman. He was one of the first ecologists ever on staff at the White House as a member of the President's Council of Economic Advisors and one of the first people in opening the use of the word “environment” to describe our culture's paradigm shift into our responsibly ecological view of our oneness with Earth. (Future Environments of North America, 1966)

John is the author of “Sky above, Earth Below” and founder of Sacred Passage and The Way of Nature Fellowship. He and his guides offer sacred passage awareness trainings, and wilderness solo experiences for leaders that inspire earth stewardship, by cultivating natural will wisdom and an open, loving heart in the wild.

"John Milton is one of the truly important teachers coming out of the American cultural context today; he has a unique capacity to help people into an encounter with nature that catalyzes their deepest sense of purpose and innate capacities as leaders."
~Peter Senge, MIT senior lecturer, author of The Fifth Discipline and co-author of Presence


In this interview:

Get out of the house!
•Ignite your passion: Reconnect to nature.
•Open your senses: Discover your outer, inner and true nature.
•Create the possibility for something new: Disconnect from human culture completely.

“Stones were created for the purpose of reconnection to the world of outer nature, and the rest of life.” ~ John P. Milton

And:

The Mandalic Experience
•How you see things, how you hear things, how you touch things,
•How things touch you, how things see you, how things hear you.

“Perceptions are the vehicle with which you will make connection [with your inner nature].” ~ John P. Milton

Plus:

The Earthing Process
•The Power of Solitude
•Walking barefoot on the earth

“Open awareness is the fundamental discovery. There's nothing simpler than open awareness.” ~ John P. Milton


Until soon! Be curious, be inspired, simplify the way…
