James M Harvey
James Harvey is a contemporary educator and mentor, musician, film maker and metaphysician, who has distilled his adventures and experiences into a transpersonal philosophy, progressive humanistic thesis and cultural proposition: Singularia, Being at an Edge in Time Coming from humble beginnings in rural Michigan, James was educated by Catholic nuns and religious brothers before attending university, studying classical music and receiving a Master of Music Performance. In conjunction with being a professional musician and university music instructor, James also ardently perused studies in transpersonal psychology, metaphysics and spiritual practices, in response to his life long spontaneous mystical experiences and vision quest. This path eventually overwhelmed ordinary professional concerns, with his being lured into aboriginal Arnhem Land in Australia, in search of a didjeridu. This adventure led him into finding more than he bargained for with his quest becoming even stranger than he had imagined. The course of the next twenty years saw him making music CD’s and documentaries, while also working as a shamanic teacher, transpersonal mentor and vision quest guide in Australia. James is a reclusive and reluctant ‘non-commercial’ neo-shaman who has nevertheless had a profoundly positive, personal impact on many people, while continuing to follow his own spiritual path. Today he lives in rural northern New South Wales, consulting in new immersive multi-media technologies and participating in his community, actively supporting constructive local solutions and relationships, while primarily raising a young family with his partner and muse. Singularia declares his passionate, holistic and hopeful call for humanity to grow and transform in the heat of rapid changes and novelty being increasingly experienced. '‘Don’t be afraid – transform.’ |
