Picture
"We are all sacred, worthy, luminous beings. We are love and our love is for giving. By waking up to this life-changing truth, we can all live from our essence. Meaning and purpose are birthed anew, love grows, creativity flows, enabling us to meet today's challenges with the requisite wisdom to create a world that works for the greatest good for all." - Dr. Tom Pinkson
Tom Pinkson is a Ph.D. Psychologist, Rites of Passage Leader, Shaman, writer and Vision Quest Guide. He is the founder of Wakan, a non-profit organization committed to restoring the sacred in daily life, and author of several books, including his most recent, Fruitful Aging.

MEET TOM:

For over 45 years I have traveled the globe studying indigenous wisdom ways, including completion of an 11 year apprenticeship with Huichol shamans of Mexico, while keeping up with the latest findings of western psychology, wellness practices, brain science and quantum physics which I use to help people wake up, remember and live from the truth of who and what we are and why we are here.

I have worked with thousands of people around the world helping them find and live this truth in their daily lives. Towards this end I have authored four books, including Fruitful Aging: Finding the Gold in the Golden Years and Shamanic Wisdom of the Huichol: Medicine Teachings for Modern Times. I founded the non-profit organization, WAKAN, and recently developed a Recognition Rite of Passage Program Honoring Elders. I know that the truth of our deepest being is the luminosity of unconditional love, wisdom, creativity and joy.

You can contact Tom through his website: http://drtompinkson.com/
"Tom Pinkson provides and restores an ancient remembrance of what it is to be a living treasure or wisdom keeper, which are honorable distinctions of what it means to be a true elder. ” – Angeles Arrien, Ph.D. Cultural Anthropologist
