Joseph Jastrab is a guide for men and women who accept the challenge of following a path of heart through the wilderness of their own soul. He reveals a path of restoring "good relation" with the natural world as a potent means to recover health, balance, and joy in life. Not taking himself too seriously, he describes himself as "a facilitator of the inevitable."
Joseph is an author, teacher, therapist, ecopsychologist, and founder of Earth Rise Foundation. As a former college teacher, Joseph introduced many curricular innovations including credit courses in "Mystical Ecology," "Wilderness Vision Quest," and "Nature and Self."
His first book, Sacred Manhood, Sacred Earth is a pioneering work in the emerging field of ecopsychology. Joseph's voice of experience and sense of humor encourages all who participate with him to bring greater insight, compassion and joy into their own lives.
Joseph has an extensive background in wilderness survival. He has served as the Chief Instructor for the North American Wilderness Survival School and is currently a certified New York State Wilderness Guide.
Earth Rise quests and workshops offer support to people whose natural impulse toward wholeness returns them to the sacred earth. Earth Rise quest guides are committed cartakers of this purpose. They share a deep respect for the earth-wisdom traditions of the past. They are likewise dedicated to serving the rebirth of the sacred that is true to the particular challenges and opportunities of our present age. Earth Rise Vision Quests are offered as contemporary rites of passage for those ready to greet such opportunity.
