About the Author

: Deborah Jane Milton, PhD in Human Development, left her psychotherapy practice in 1992 to spend two months in solitude to reclaim her childhood dream of being an artist. Living in Montana for thirty years, her imagery and wisdom have been inspired by soul connection with other humans, wilderness experience, intertribal ceremonies, traditional sweat lodges and the embodied spiritual practice she calls Ecstatic Wisdom Postures. Deborah currently lives on an island near Seattle, Washington, in proximity to her four adult children and eight grandchildren. She lives in wonder for life on this planet, Makes ARTful Prayers ( MAP ) for wounded places and inspires others to paint their DEEP DREAMING for Gaia.
