Phil Cousineau
Phil Cousineau is a freelance writer, independent filmmaker, photographer, worldwide lecturer and adventure travel guide, and a television host for Link TV and PBS. For the last thirty years he has published widely on such themes as creativity, soul, movies, sports, beauty, and the mythic imagination. Cousineau has published over twenty-five books, including the worldwide bestseller, The Art of Pilgrimage, The Hero’s Journey: The Life and Work of Joseph Campbell, Stoking the Creative Fires, The Way Things Are: Conversations with Huston Smith on the Spiritual Life, and The Olympic Odyssey: Rekindling the Spirit of the Ancient Games, which was selected by the United States Olympic Committee as a gift book for American athletes at the 2004 Summer Games in Athens. He is also the author of Once and Future Myths and Deadlines: A Rhapsody on a Theme of Famous Last Words, which won the 1991 Fallot Literary Award, and The Blue Museum, which was acclaimed by the San Francisco Chronicle as a book
of “dazzling … exquisite lyrics … that is able to draw profound questions out of ordinary life.” Deepak Chopra writes, “Phil Cousineau is a word wizard and his book, “Wordcatcher” is a delightful adventure into a magical world.” Cousineau's most recent book is Beyond Forgiveness: Reflections on Atonement, which is recommended by the U. S. Armed Forces for returning war veterans. He has also contributed to over forty other books.
Besides his work in the book world Cousineau has also written or cowritten fifteen documentary films, including the classic work, in 1987, The Hero's Journey, based on the life and work of Joseph Campbell. Since then he has written Ecological Design: Inventing the Future; Wayfinders: A Pacific Odyssey; The Peyote Road; A Seat at the Table: The Struggle for American Indian Religious Freedom (with Huston Smith), and Forever Activists: Stories from the Abraham Lincoln Brigade, which was nominated for an Academy Award.
Cousineau has been described by Dr. Smith as a "quadruple threat—a great writer, filmmaker, photographer, and coach," and by Joseph Campbell as someone who helped discover the "new myths emerging within the movies."
Currently, Cousineau has been the host of the LINK TV series "Global Spirit" for the past four years, a series that premiers on PBS in summer 2012. He has been interviewed about creativity, mythology, soul, and sports on CNN-International, BBC-1, NPR, PRI, New Dimensions, and featured in many magazines and journals, including TIME, NEWSWEEK, and Parabola. Cousineau has also been a judge for the Emmys, San Francisco Film Festival, and the PEN-WEST literary awards, and most recently has been a featured commentator for several Warner Brothers DVDs, including The Natural, The Superman Deluxe Set, Double Indemnity, and Constantine.
He is a Fellow of the Joseph Campbell Foundation, contributing faculty at the Institute of Imaginal Studies and the Sophia Center, at Holy Names College, in Oakland, CA., and a member of the Author’s Guild. He lives with his family in San Francisco where he coaches youth baseball.

Andrew Harvey
Andrew Harvey was born in south India in 1952 where he lived until he was nine years old. It is this early period that he credits with shaping his sense of the inner unity of all religions and providing him with a permanent and inspiring vision of a world infused with the sacred. He left India to attend private school in England and entered Oxford University in 1970 with a scholarship to study history. At the age of 21, he became the youngest person ever to be awarded a fellowship to All Soul’s College, England’s highest academic honor.
By 1977 Andrew Harvey had become disillusioned with life at Oxford and returned to his native India, where a series of mystical experiences initiated his spiritual journey. Over the next thirty years he plunged into different mystical traditions to learn their secrets and practices. In 1978 he met a succession of Indian saints and sages and began his long study and practice of Hinduism. In 1983, in Ladakh, he met the great Tibetan adept, Thuksey Rinpoche, and undertook with him the Mahayana Buddhist Bodhisattva vows; later, in 1990, he would collaborate with Sogyal Rinpoche and Patrick Gaffney in the writing of The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying. In 1984, Andrew Harvey began a ten-year-long exploration and explication of Rumi and Sufi mysticism in Paris with a group of French Sufis and under the guidance of Eva De Vitray-Meyerovitch, the magnificent translator of Rumi into French. In 1992, he met Father Bede Griffiths in his ashram in south India near where Andrew Harvey had been born. It was this meeting that helped him synthesize the whole of his mystical explorations and reconcile eastern with western mysticism.
In 2005, in the historic Santuario de Guadalupe in Santa Fe New Mexico, Andrew Harvey delivered his vision of the contemporary crisis now confronting us in today’s world and its potential solution in what he has termed “Sacred Activism,” which he sees as the culmination of his life’s work. This extraordinary occasion was made into a documentary film.
Andrew Harvey has taught at Oxford University, Cornell University, Hobart and William Smith Colleges, The California Institute of Integral Studies, and the University of Creation Spirituality as well as the at various spiritual centers throughout the United States. He was the subject of the 1993 BBC film documentary The Making of a Modern Mystic and appears also in Rumi Turning Ecstatic and The Consciousness of the Christ: Reclaiming Jesus for A New Humanity.
Andrew Harvey is Founder Director of the Institute of Sacred Activism. He also has a spiritual counseling practice in Chicago.

Carl Jung and The Psychology of Spiritual Experience -- Christianity and other faiths
Journey Conferences focus on the dialogue between the psychology of Carl Jung & Christian spirituality along with spiritual experiences at the heart of other faiths.
These conferences going forward, are intended to serve the ongoing (and necessary) evolution not only of those whose growth has been already deeply enlivened by the work of C. G. Jung, but also those new to it -- Christians and all people of faith along with those who find faith hard to come by.
In our coming together around lectures, workshops, dialogue groups, solitude in art and nature, and special events, we seek to experience that truth and grace whereby each individual can have "the freedom to grow" in order to become his or her true self -- "the fulfillment of the seed ... planted in ...[one at one's]... making." [George Appleton] |
