About
Dr. Tom Pinkson, “tomás“, is a transpersonal psychologist in private practice who helped start the second hospice program in the United States and has served as a Clinical Consultant to the Center for Attitudinal Healing in Sausalito, CA since 1977 working with children, adults and families facing life threatening illness. In 1993, he completed an eleven year shamanic apprenticeship with Huichol shamans in Mexico in a Bull Ceremony initiating him into the world of shamanism and the “mara ‘kame”, the shaman.
Tom has studied with indigenous elders around the world for over 35 years and utilizes shamanism and indigenous wisdom ways and attitudinal healing in his work helping people from all walks of life ―individuals, groups, business and corporate executives seeking ways to bring spirit into their companies, to find their heart path and the power to walk it to “completion”, right into the death of their physical bodies and their return “home” into Spirit.
He developed a successful nationally recognized wilderness treatment modality for heroin addicts in 1972 that included mountain climbing and shamanic vision questing which he continues to offer to this day to those seeking deeper vision, power and wisdom for their lives. Tom is the founder of Wakan, a nonprofit organization committed to restoring the sacred in daily life.
His most recent work is the creation of – Recognition Rites for A New Vision of Aging: Honoring Elders. You can learn more about this program, read articles, watch videos and follow his blog here. In addition, a wonderful article in the May 11th issue of the Marin Independent Journal Newspaper can be viewed here and he is currently writing a new book about the Recognition Rites program to help others bring this exciting work into their communities. Tom currently lives and works in Northern California.
