J. PHILLIP JONES Psychotherapist and Cosmologist, Hawai‘i
Philip’s Animal Wheel will be the centerpiece of The Circle of Life Action Room. He is an author, psychotherapist, and rites of passage facilitator. After working as an engineer, Philip became a Hindu monk, where he served for 17 years. He began an intensive study of Carl Jung’s teachings in 1993, and integrates these teachings with the principles of indigenous medicine wheels.
His Animal Wheel features 16 animals, 13 of whom are endangered, which helps individuals to connect with their true nature, as portrayed by their kindred animal spirit.
Phillip is the author of Light on Death: The Spiritual Art of Dying, and is a senior spiritual counselor and teacher for hospice, co-owner of Questing Spirit, and a leader of retreats to sacred sites around the world. Phillip is nearing completion of a new book entitled The Four Seeds of Greatness.
