Speaker
The Ravens Gift:
Living Magically and Acting Practically in the Modern World
with Jon Turk: author, explorer, scientist
Join featured speaker
Jon Turk on a forty year journey - traversing steamy
jungles, the high arctic and the Gobi - following Stone Age
mariners who paddled ice-choked oceans in dug-out canoes.
Jon’s exploits as a wilderness traveler and explorer are
legendary – his ability as an author and speaker to engage,
honor and reflect upon landscapes and traditional cultures
is equally invigorating.
On lonely and stormy
seas, Jon honors the value of ancient wisdoms in this
internet crazed, globally warmed world. In classic
storytelling fashion, Jon brings us the parallel voices of
Moolynaut, a Siberian shaman, Oleg the hunter; and Kutcha
the Raven, with wide black wings and the power to heal.
Workshops with Jon:
Finding a Sense of Place
- Connecting Spiritually with Nature
Nature Writing and Story
Arts
