Sparrow Hart has apprenticed himself to nature and the wilderness for almost 50 years. Inspired by Thoreau and Carlos Castaneda to search for something authentic and extraordinary, he’s explored the interaction of outer and inner landscapes in ways that challenge the paradigms of separation and disconnection underlying the stories we tell ourselves today. Informed by a wide variety of native and non-native medicine teachers, and one of the country’s most experienced vision quest guides, Sparrow has led programs through Circles of Air and Stone for three decades.
“Sparrow speaks for the wild and is a true shaman… a man of immense spirit, a singer with a wild and perceptive heart.”
— Stephan Beyer, author of Singing to the Plants: A Guide to Mestizo Shamanism in the Upper Amazon
“Thanks for keeping the torch blazing…
You are one of the wisest teachers I have ever experienced. Life is more of a mystery since I got back, and the metaphor of staying within the circle of my purpose I find to be strangely haunting, beautiful, and calming. The quest was easily the best experience of my life. It opened my heart to be the person I am today.”
