Julian Norris, Ph.D.

Julian Norris is a scholar-practitioner who has spent his life exploring and guiding at the shadowy crossroads where psyche and system dance together. A grateful guest in the Treaty Seven territories of the Canadian Rockies, Julian’s work is seasoned by a love for the bardic traditions, weathered from a lifetime spent in wild landscapes and honed through contemplative and somatic practice.

He aspires to be good practical company for anyone wandering in the depths or wondering at the threshold…particularly those called to birth and build the life-enhancing patterns of consciousness and culture required for a flourishing future.
