Daniel Foor, Ph.D., is a practitioner of earth-honoring spirituality in the San Francisco Bay Area. His academic training includes a doctorate in psychology from Saybrook University, an M.A. in counseling from the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology (MFC #46692), and a B.S.S. in religious studies from Ohio University. His doctoral research focused on the intersection of psychotherapy and shamanic healing, and he has lived in the Czech Republic, Mexico, Ecuador, Egypt, and Morocco.
Daniel has studied world religion for 15 years with an emphasis on Mahayana Buddhism and diverse forms of shamanism and indigenous wisdom, including the earth-honoring traditions of Europe. He leads trainings and rituals that engage the ancestors and the natural/elemental worlds with the intent of remembering our personal destiny and gifts here in service to the Earth.
Daniel’s ancestors are Northern and Western European immigrants to North America (Irish, English, German) and he loves his family deeply. By encouraging close work with family ancestors, he emphasizes that we are all from lineages that understood, or perhaps still understand, how to live well with the Earth and other worlds. Daniel is also the founder and executive director of the Earth Medicine Alliance (www.earthmedicine.org), an interfaith 501(c)3 non-profit based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
