James Endredy is
a teacher, mentor, and guide to thousands of people
through his books and workshops. After a series
of life tragedies and mystical experiences as
a teenager he changed direction from his Catholic
upbringing and embarked on a life-long spiritual
journey to encounter the mysteries of life and
death and why we are all here. For over twenty-five
years he has learned shamanic practices from all
over the globe, while also studying with kawiteros,
lamas, siddhas, roadmen, and leaders in the modern
fields of ecopsychology, bioregionalism, and sustainable
living. James also worked for ten years with Mexican
shamanic researcher Victor Sanchez learning to
share shamanic practices with modern people.
On a daily
level, his experiences have inspired him to live
a sustainable lifestyle as much as possible while
still working within mainstream society. He writes,
leads workshops, mentors private clients, visits
schools and community centers, speaks at bookstores,
and volunteers in his community. His books have
thus far been published in seven languages.
Currently
James is working on his eleventh book while he
continues to develop The Earth Spirit Foundation
among the giant sequoias of the northern California
sierras and in the mountains of Killington Vermont.
To insure the safety of the
participants in his activities, James is a nationally
certified Wilderness First Responder by WMI (Wilderness
Medicine Institute) and NOLS (National Outdoor
Leadership School).
