Dr. Michael Brant DeMaria's life took a profound turn 30 years ago. Experiencing compassion fatigue, burn out and suicidal thoughts from working with over 2000 cases of severe child abuse and neglect as a child protection team psychologist, he embarked on a life-transforming vision quest guided by a native elder. This journey, which involved going without food or water alone in the wilderness, led to a profound heart opening and a reawakening of his first loves of nature and creativity, while instilling in him a sense of the deep mystery of living and dying as far beyond anything we are taught in modern culture.
Since then, Michael's mission has been to explore what he calls, ‘the way of twilight,’ that is, finding how to embrace the ongoing, never ending and perplexing paradoxes of living and dying, in a way that opens our hearts instead of closing them. He does this through his creative work (music, writing and film) and his mentoring of others. His music has been streamed over 250 million times around the world, earning him four Grammy® nominations, eight ZMR awards, six #1 albums, and a Native American Music Award. His work is also featured on the Grammy® winning album All About Bullies Big and Small. Michael's music has been featured in projects with Eckhart Tolle, Mark Nepo, Peter Kater, and Noah Levine.
