Mark Tollefson has been teaching nature-based connection and facilitating  transformation for 30 years. Born in the wilds of northern Canada and  from a young age mentored by people intimately connected to their  lineage and nature-based roots he brings rich life experience and wisdom  to his work.

Mark has been a survival skills instructor at Tom Brown Jr.’s Tracker  School, the executive director of Wilderness Youth Project and the  Center for Urban Agriculture at Fairview Gardens in Santa Barbara. He  has owned a pub and restaurant, worked as a roughneck in the oil fields,  helped open an international high school in New Zealand, and founded  his own non-profit working to promote sustainable farming with the Maya  of southern Belize.

He has participated in and started many men’s groups and has sat in circle with men for many years.

He has guided hundreds of people through rites of passage into  holistic living and thinking, helping those he works with to step into a  new paradigm of being that is based on Thriving Life, connected to our  true purpose for being alive at this time.

Mark works one-on-one and in groups with people who wish to live from  their essence and uncover the blocks that keep them from living a  Thriving Life. His  process of using myth and story-telling helps  create a map unique to each person that will uncover true vision and  purpose.

Mark has many passions including playing music, poetry, carpentry,  and cooking delicious food. He is the father of two amazing children and  lives in Santa Barbara, California.
