John Sacelli, Yale University BA Philosophy, has spent 40 years exploring alternative therapies, spiritual paths, body work, and shamanism. After 4 years as Civil Rights Worker in Alabama and Community Organizer in Chicago, he moved to California, taking classes at Berkeley Free University in Aikido, Polarity, Gestalt Therapy, Reichian Energetics, Tae Kwon Do, Kundalini Yoga, Deep Tissue Massage, and ‘anything that sounded weird, oriental or exotic.’ He has worked and studied with Gurus, Yogis, Zen Masters, Kahunas, Sages, Witches and Medicine People of all persuasions.

John hitchhiked through America, Mexico, Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and Eastern Europe while still ‘behind the Iron Curtain.’ He has taken a cone from Michigan to New Orleans, and a motorcycle across the US, Canada and Mexico.

Having made his living as a taxi driver, migrant farm laborer, writer, editor, massage therapist, commercial fisherman, yoga teacher and astrologer, John is currently a free-lance ‘Urban Shaman’ in Chicago. He has conducted workshops in Polarity Therapy, Kundalini Yoga, Deep Tissue Massage, Soul Circles, The Dreamtime and Shamanism across North America.

While experiencing a series of Shamanic Visions in the early 1980s, he met his totem Lynx links who introduced him to a series of inter-dimensional, alternative and past life adventures, and also to the subject of ‘Angelish, the Original Language.’ Angelish is an inner logic lying inside ordinary language which reconnects us to the original spelling spell-casting of words.
