Earthprayers for World Peace,EcoPsychology,Environmental Art,Earthhealing,Ritual,Ceramony

As a soulfriend,and teacher I serve the needs of my students,realizing that we all need to be validated and blessed in such a negative culture. As an Ecopsychologist and soulfriend, I include our relationship to the Earth around us as very significant in our mental and physical health. I also look at the psychosis of our culture as impactful in how we feel about ourselves and our world. I teach workshops in connecting with the earth by using the cob[earth] building process. Playing in the mud can be a serious and playful way of healing and becoming whole. We must all live and love as if the whole world mattered!

Profile and Credentials

I am a Earthologist specializing in the values of Ecological Psychology and a teacher who weaves environmental education into all of my work. A published poet, writer and environmental artist,[and classic under-achiever ha!] I bring people together to play, heal, and dance in the beauty of the Earth, constructing community as part of the process of creating "Earthprayers for World Peace"[community collaborative Earth Monuments]. A new project has come from a dream: to make peach sized earthballs [earthprayers for world peace] that I give to people to plant in the earth around the world and when enough get planted we will have World Peace in our lifetime. I also have stone and ceramic sculptures and "Songs from the Earth"which are individually constructed Earth Healing Environments,[sometimes in collaboration with people needing healingwork]as well as in major Western Art Galleries.

Philosophy and Comments

I believe at this time in history we are living in a very destructive [Pathological] culture. We have forgotten how to live as human beings, sharing and caring for each other and the world. I believe we each have a special gift to offer the world, and a destiny that came with us when we were born. Looking at our wound of origin [in a normal way we all get wounded by life, which brings us awareness and compassion] and marrying our wound with the wound of the Earth is, I believe, a place of destiny and power. I also believe in humor and rule #6:To Stop taking ourselves too seriously!

Work Hours and Fee Schedule

Monday thru Thursday 9am to 6pm, sliding scale $35-$90. With at times special considerations [trades]that are perfectly clear. Workshops are reasonably priced depending on the length of workshop.

Earthprayers for World Peace

This is a process of gathering people to create "Earthprayers For World Peace", a series of community healing objects, sculptures, earthen benches, or bread ovens in which we play together in the mud and create beautiful objects in the name of World Peace. We also put prayers, poems, and objects in the mud as we're building, which makes the finished piece very powerful, and, I believe, a beacon of hope, and love for the Earth!A second process has occured from a dream in which I was told when we plant Earthen balls the size of a peach[another form of an Earthprayer for World Peace],when enough are planted in the earth,we will in fact have World Peace in our lifetime.

Doing Business as if the Whole World Mattered

Looking at the need for Humor,Spirituality Ethics,Kindness and generocity in our business world.Consumer Capitalism is a thought virus and a soul cancer destroying so much of our world,communities,families and individual relationships because it is the negative belief that the bottom line is the only value that is important.We also believe in America that greed and selfishness are the normal values of western man and we were born flawed with original sin and must be saved by fundamental religious beliefs.I believe in Mathew Fox's[a former Catholic monk] idea of original blessing[and that we are in fact in created in God's image] not original sin!

Healing the Earth Healing Ourselves

I teach people of how to have a personal relationship with the Earth and to feel her incredible healing energy.We are never alone..."Feeling alone is a trick we play on ourselves when we're afraid" mudman

Doing Art as if the Whole World Mattered

Looking at how important Artists are for creating solutions for the problems of the world.Are we using toxic materials?Do we see galleries as the only place for our work? The Times are calling us to learn how to collaborate in finding ways to play some and to also help heal the world!Are you ready to take back your esteem from the negative messages from the corporate controlled media,and live your art process that will take the anger of being treated so poorly and use it for fuel for the journey to artistic pride in ourselves..."Anger is love looking for a door" mudman Johnson
