Damian John’s education and interests lie with other humans, the wild, words, and wind.
He is a registered massage therapist, house-builder, forager, ceremonialist, and educator. Being steeped in the ways of wild tracking and nature-based and FN cultural practices, he understands the sacred relationship between death and life. Damien accompanies many nal passages opening to
