New Dimensions

Deep into his career as a psychotherapist and research psychologist, Bill Plotkin recognized that as we surround ourselves with the trappings of our culture, and distance ourselves from nature, a host of emotional and spiritual troubles emerge. He placed himself in nature's guiding hands and found his true calling in helping others find theirs. He now leads vision quests, in which individuals engage the natural world as both the medium and the context for a passage to adulthood, and a maturity that too often is beyond reach in our urban society. He explains, "A true adult is someone who has recognized consciously what their mystical relationship is to the natural world, which comes into our consciousness as a calling to bring a particular gift to the world." The rewards include a richer life, of course, but they go much further, as our individual sacred callings become the seeds that lift our world to a brighter, more loving place.
