Kent Dobson

Kent Dobson is a defender of the ancient and hidden ways of relating to the ordinary mysteries of being alive.  He’s committed to helping others listen to the poetry of their own way of being and the potentialities latent in the contours of the heart.  He’s fascinated by the ways myth and symbol arise spontaneously from the psyche in wildly personal ways and in recognizable patterns that cross time and culture.  He’s a student of the evolving conversation around the sacred masculine and the sacred feminine.  He was lucky enough to grow up in the woods of Virginia, among the hills and streams, as the son of Irish immigrants.  He studied English in college and went to graduate school in Jerusalem, where he still leads pilgrimages.  He’s a former minister and musician, an author and podcaster, dream tender and companion-guide for individuals, and a trouble-maker for his own group wilderness intensives.  Based in Michigan for many years, he’s now settling into his new home in rural Georgia with his wife and kids, among pines and ferns and extended family.
