MENTORS
Guides for Deep Learning
Transformative learning of the kind that deepens consciousness and enriches life does not require earning a degree or exorbitant loans or fees.
Worldreader mentors offer practices, expertise, and wisdom from many disciplines and traditions.
Worldread Practitioners Network
We are putting together a worldwide network of Worldread mentors to offer a variety of learnings: depth-psychological, embodied philosophical, folkloric/mythological, ecospiritual. ​Learnings emphasize skills like practical dreaming for creative work, reconnection with the natural world, movement and somatic practices, reflection and contemplation, loreologizing and storytelling, writing and presenting with depth.
​
If you feel called into higher ed, then of course pursue a degree. But if you're looking instead for personal growth and a sense of vocation, perhaps you need a different kind of resource.
​
This network is not a formal business arrangement. Every practitioner on this page is a colleague whose work I value, and I'm happy to recommend them.
Keep an eye on this page as we add practitioners whose offerings will generally be at two levels: free, as a form of service; and paid, to earn a living.
