Wild Sacredness is the outgrowth of the inner and outer journeying Robert has been doing for most of his life. At the age of 14, he had his initiation into reflective time in nature as an Eagle Scout and member of the Order of the Arrow, when he spent his first night alone in the wilderness. His inner journey into the self began at 16, when he learned Transcendental Meditation; what followed were many years living and studying in the heart of a prominent spiritual community, where periods of deep silence alternated with learning about fundamental principles of nature and human development. In 1996, he participated in his first vision quest. That experience launched a tremendous healing and awakening, and he’s continued to use the quest as a tool for empowerment and self-awareness, going on a vision quest every year. 

 

During the vision quest, Robert discovered the nature of his gifts and clarified what he wanted to do with his life. His desire to help others rediscover their passion and purpose—to live more authentic lives—led him to his discovery of Tantra, another avenue offering profound healing and reconnection with one’s wild, passionate self. Tantra offers the opportunity to become more alive, to embrace one’s sacred, sexual self and share more of that essence with others.

 

Realizing it was time to bring these two powerful modalities into one, Robert launched Wild Sacredness. Both avenues are an opportunity to say ‘YES’ to life: to heal any obstacles blocking you from becoming who you really are, and sharing that with your people. Both paths generate three key components—Self Love, Self Awakening, and Self Empowerment—which lead to a rich, fulfilled, essence-driven life.
