“I have had the privilege of knowing Michael Watson for over 30 years, first as a teacher at Burlington College. There his creative courses synthesized ancient mythology, psychology and ecology of spirit. He taught so much, connecting Winnicotts theories of attachment, old stories of shame, grief and forgiveness and a psychology of place. Even more importantly, Michael guided a way of seeing and being with multimodal perspectives. He continues to guide groups and counsel from that breadth of understanding and grounded in his lived experience of Native American ancestral teachings.”
