“Energy flows where attention goes.”

It's a very old and important teaching, and anyone who has tried their hand at meditation knows it all starts with learning how to focus one’s attention, whether on the breath, a mantra, a prayer, candle flames, chants, drumbeats or something else.

It doesn’t take a genius to notice that modern life has become very adept at capturing (and controlling) people’s attention. In airports, cafés, and restaurants people stare at and scroll their screens. Emails from the office arrive while on vacation as work invades personal space…

Right now, the beautiful, living earth is opening itself to the warmth and radiance of the sky. What do you want to be opening to? For 35 years we've been developing and offering programs with teachings, tools, and techniques for giving attention to the deep longings and desire for something sustaining and perennial beneath our surface, consensual reality…

We invite you to look through our offerings below, and we’d be more than happy to help you reclaim your attention and give your energy to the life that’s waiting to be yours.

Blessings, Sparrow Hart

Discover Your Purpose, Passion, and Path. . .

your Nature in Nature. . . The pace of modern life is fast, frenetic, and fragmented. Too easily we become disassociated and disconnected from the living earth, from Soul, Source, God or Spirit and ultimately from our very purpose. For millennia native peoples, mystics, and seekers of spiritual truth have undertaken vision quests to find wisdom and direction, to experience authentic and profound encounters with the God or Spirit, and to attain spiritual guidance to help them through unique challenges and transitions.

"I did a Vision Quest with Sparrow about 5 years ago and it was amazing –– a life-changing experience –– and my new life has been unfolding from that place ever since. Sparrow is a wonderfully wise guide –– with a great sense of humor –– teaching from his own experiences."

MYTHIC WARRIOR

MENS PROGRAM, 8-MONTH ADVENTURE

November 17th, 2023 - June 2nd, 2024

at Stumpsprouts Retreat Center in Hawley, MA

Make the commitment to your personal growth . . .

Meeting one weekend a month for 8 months, beginning November 17, 2023, the group will enact a modern-day hero’s journey. Using depth psychology, ritual, initiatory activities and group processes, we will identify the mother-son conflict that lives in us, separating from adolescence, reaction and dependency. We will cross the threshold of the sacred, developing personal and male rituals to support and guide us through life, creating self-trust and a nurturing, healthy masculinity that can help heal ourselves, families, and communities.

Fields, ponds, woodland streams, and stunning views adorn the area.

"Sparrow is authentic and his presence and way evoked

the best from each of us. It was, easily, the most meaningful experience of my life" –– M. L.
