DANIEL RECHTSCHAFFEN

Daniel Rechtschaffen is a psychotherapist, educator, author, poet, meditation teacher, father, gardener, and a devoted disciple of the cosmos. He has spent a lifetime immersed in contemplative traditions, weaving their insights into a body of work he is called to share.
Much of his career has been dedicated to integrating mindfulness and emotional intelligence into school systems around the world. He has founded several organizations and authored widely used children’s books and teacher training manuals in the field of mindful education.
His most recent book, The Gift of Apocalypse, explores the mythologies humanity has told about crisis and collapse, and how our relationship to these stories shapes the unfolding of our lives and our world.
Daniel maintains a private psychotherapy practice, working with individuals and couples, and supporting clients in the alchemical art of awakening. He also leads workshops and offers talks on mytho-poetic and psycho-spiritual themes.
