Dr. Robin Weeks has a Ph.D in Geophysics. He had a research and teaching career in academia. Spiritual experiences lead him to leave mainstream academia to pursue an MA in Religious Studies at Naropa University, after which he became passionately interested in issues of science and spirituality. For him, a key element in this arena lies in our fragmented relationship with the natural world, mostly caused by underlying assumptions of the sciences. He now teaches at Atlantic University and works as a hiking guide in Sedona Arizona, and the aim of his hikes is to facilitate a deeper, conscious connection with nature.
