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.
