Tom Anderson

..is an explorer and guide whose mission is to serve the world by awakening a sense of purpose in its people.

Whether he is speaking in front of a large audience, guiding a small group, or working one-on-one with coaching clients, Tom brings to his work a deep, intuitive sense informed by the reflections of wild nature.

Tom's personal journey has been one of both spiritual and soulful exploration. His own story parallels those of the people he serves: outward worldly success while urged by a deep yearning of the heart to live a life of deeper meaning and purpose.

Following insights reveled on his first Vision Quest experience, Tom has answered the call to bring the teaching he received back to a wider audience. These teachings help people discover their deep souls' callings so that they might better serve themselves, their communities, and the world. Through the Vision Quest model of personal development, Tom invites people into the world of the imagination where everything is a mirror to the secrets of the soul.

Tom has Vision Quested and trained as a guide with Rites of Passage and has also received training in deep soul exploration work with Animas Valley Institute. Additionally, Tom has many hours of spirit-based training through Unity Institute.

Tom believes that humanity is at a crossroads - one filled simultaneously with both danger and blissful possibility. Earth and all of its inhabitants are calling to each of us to do our part on this Great Turning - and our souls are answering. Tom's roll is to help those who are beginning to feel this soul-tug understand its meaning and message in their own individual lives and then to guide them to a place where they can begin to live a life that is purposeful and passionate, for in living our deepest purpose, we not only serve ourselves, but we serve the world as well.

Tom captures the essence of his teachings in his upcoming book entitled Live a Mythic Life, in which he challenges the reader to view their life as a heroic journey and fearless search for their gift to give.

Tom, age 46, makes his home in Overland Park, Kansas along with his wife Leslie and their two children Wesley and Kate.
