Featured Teacher
We are pleased to officially welcome David Jordan as a Five-Part Apprenticeship teacher sanctioned by don Oscar and the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition Lineage. Blending therapeutic mastery as a licensed psychotherapist with his experience as a shamanic practitioner, David offers his students profoundly transformational experiences grounded in earth-honoring, community-building and soul-healing medicine. His background includes service as a wilderness-based therapist, expressive artist, college instructor and spiritual guide.
David works full-time as the director of a community mental health center where he serves socio-economically challenged and marginalized clients struggling with chronic and severe mental illness and addiction. Part-time, he owns and operates Burning Bear Healing Arts, LLC, offering psychotherapy, spiritual consultation, shamanic healing and ceremony, and now, the Five-Part Apprenticeship. His goal is to help initiates integrate PMT ritual arts in practical and productive ways for the healing of self, community, and the planet.
David lives and works in Decatur, Georgia, not far from his hometown of Stone Mountain. He is married to an inspirational social worker and therapist and is the father of two phenomenal teenagers. David is also a contributor to our Writer's Forum. You can read his deeply honest and engaging essays
