Academic background

......Midsummer's Eve 2003...
Announcement

As many of my students know already,  I retired from Pacifica earlier this month and relocated to an ivy-covered house built c. 1910 in SW Michigan.  Former students won't be surprised to learn that I've named it "Green Man Abbey."  Here I'll be doing freelance writing, working on several books and scripts, teaching workshops, and resuming my private, pre-academic practice as a past life regression "guide."

As for Myth*ing Links, I did seriously consider letting it go, but I've invested too much love in it to do that -- so it'll remain.   My thanks to the many who have sent warm wishes as I begin this new cycle in my life -- I won't have time to respond personally,  but your kindness is deeply appreciated.  As  workshops, lectures, and other public activities arise, I'll announce them on my home page.

Note: if you're interested in Pastlife Regression Sessions with me, whether in person or by telephone, please see my Reincarnation page.  (For the convenience of those who have asked, I am now accepting payment through  for pastlife sessions.)

10 May 2005:  I am delighted to announce that I am now the mythology consultant and author of the "Companion Guide" for game-2 of a three game series of video games, Journey to Wild Divine. I'm not a "gamer," yet I fell in love with game-1.  It begins as a rich, moving "creation myth" with an opening narration by my longtime friend, Jean Houston.  It uses biofeedback to enhance its interactive quality in remarkable ways (because of its relaxing health benefits, the game's creator, Corwin Bell, has been invited to speak at major hospitals & medical conferences across the country).  In the past year, game-1 has sold over 40,000 copies -- 51% of its audience are women, many of them first-time gamers.  Game-2 is scheduled for release October 1, 2005.

5 December 2005: Game-2 of Journey to Wild Divine, "Wisdom Quest," is now available.  The "Companion Guide" I wrote is forthcoming (see directly below for August 2006 update).  Click on the link at the top of this page for more info,  or visit my review of Game-1, "The Passage," at:Journey to Wild Divine.

11 August 2006: please click here for information on the just released $9.95 pdf download (see directly above) of the book I wrote for Game-2 of the Wild Divine video game:The Wisdom Quest's Companion Guide.
