*Doug Adrianson* believes council, ceremony and nature can enrich anyone's
life, and the sooner the better. A lifelong writer and editor who loves the
power and mystery of language, for 10 years he has spiraled deeper and
deeper into the work of The Ojai Foundation. He is an experienced council
trainer and co-chair of The Ojai Foundation's Board of Directors. He
facilitates rite-of-passage retreats for teenagers and adults, both in Ojai
and elsewhere, and has been a weekly council-circle leader at five schools.

ceremonies for over 15 years to help others develop and nurture an intimate
relationship with nature and with self.
