Bill Plotkin, Ph.D. is a depth psychologist, wilderness guide, and cultural evolution agent.

He founded Animas Valley Institute in Colorado, guiding thousands through nature-based initiatory passages.

Plotkin's background includes research psychology, academia, rock music, and river guiding.

A spiritual awakening in 1979 led him to leave academia for his true calling.
