DANIEL DRYDEN

Daniel grew up in rural Alaska and draws extensively from his experiences of living in the vast expanse of towering mountains and large glacial rivers. Daniel is passionate about supporting others to connect with the vitality of life, both the magical natural world and the vast internal dimensions. Daniel began medicine work in 2005 and then devoted many years to mysticism, experiential education, and holistic healing practices. In the last 10 years Daniel received his master's degree in Integral counseling psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies and has been working clinically with ketamine for the last 4 years.  Daniel has also led group medicine retreats and is very fond of creating shared spaces for healing, self-exploration and connection to the more than human world.

Among other things Daniel is a father, therapist, carpenter, poet, and wilderness guide. Daniel works from a perspective that combines internal family systems (IFS), interpersonal neurobiology, somatic therapy, and eastern mysticism.  Daniel believes in embracing all walks of life and supporting a diversity of experience and personal identification. Daniel strives to create environments that foster authenticity, interconnectedness and expanded states of consciousness
