Picture in your mind a conversation with Jean Houston, Caroline Myss, Stan Alex Groff, Angeles Arrien, Andrew Harvey, Alex Grey, or Will Taegel. Add to that scene the blue waters of Greece or Turkey, the prehistoric caves of the Dordogne, the cathedral in Chartres, the redwoods of the west coast, or the hill country of Texas, as a backdrop for a rich dialogue between faculty and students drawn from around the globe.

Imagine the possibility of dipping into living sources of indigenous wisdom alongside the emerging wisdom of our time. See the possibilities for expressing yourself through writing, creative media and sacred activism...

Wisdom University classes are offered in 5-day Intensives and are held in retreat settings across the US and at sacred sites abroad, and online. Classes are open to auditors as well as for credit. Check our Class Schedule and Academic Programs for details at www.WisdomUniversity.org.

“Wisdom University has reframed my understanding of the universe and my place in it. It has inspired my work and brought new life to my spiritual practice.” - Gail Ransom

Renowned author and leading-edge thinker Dr. Will Taegel grew up on the Llano Estacado in Texas where he began his lifelong and intimate relationship with Nature. Choosing an integrative approach early in his career, Dr. Taegel received his formal education at Emory University gaining a Masters degree; and at the University of California Berkeley where he earned a Doctorate from San Francisco Theological Seminary. Concurrent with his formal education he explored his Native American heritage and received traditional training in the ways of the Shaman. Always fascinated and happily challenged by human psychology and one’s relationship to the self and others, Dr. Taegel conducted a successful psychotherapy practice for 35 years, which evolved into his current role as a soughtafter Eco-Spiritual Mentor. Dr. Taegel and his spouse, Judith Yost founded a three decades old eco-spiritual community in the Texas Hill Country called Earthtribe. He has written eight books weaving together nature, spirituality, psychology, and relationship and has recently been appointed Dean of Faculty at Wisdom University. Author of Nature and Intimacy, and Natural Mystics, Dr. Taegel has a newly published book entitled The Sacred Council of Your WILD HEART: Nature’s Hope in Earth’s Crisis.
