Bio – Paul Robbins

I grew up in the Northwest with 5 siblings, a very supportive monther and a father who was a fundamentalist minister.

I learned early in life that I found peace and acceptance spending time in the forest. In the 60's I worked for the Forest Service while attending a small religious college where I also became a Chaplin before moving on to state university and obtaining a degree in anthropology.

After college and longing for something more, I gained valuable life experience working a variety of jobs. When I was working in Alaska at a feed mill, someone loaned me a copy of the “Tao Te Ching” by Lao Tzu. The philosophy was something a resonated deeply with–Tao is limitless, unborn, eternal.

In the 1970's I picked up a copy of the book, "Seth Speaks" by Jane Roberts and further expanded my perspectives and gradually started to alter my own path.

I ended up in Big Sur, California where I embraced the culture of the time period. I worked in a restaurant and met people from all over the world including artists, musicians, and movie stars. It was a vibrant time in my life with a lot of experimentation, but it was not as sustainable lifestyle and I found myself developing health problems.
