You Cannot Find What You Already Have

— "You Cannot Find What You Already Have."

Valeria Teles interviews Matt Baker — the Founder of the Institute for Nondual Shamanism, Teacher, Author, And Speaker.

Matt's main interest is in how non-dual insight can be combined with shamanic practice to better help people awaken to a deep, fundamental well-being—and in so doing—create more meaningful and joyful lives. Matt uses Zoom video chat platform to work one-on-one with people and in groups. He is the Founder of the Institute for Nondual Shamanism. When time permits, Matt offers classes and private sessions.

Matt was raised in Concord, MA, just a mile from Walden Pond. He received his BA in International Relations with a minor in Creative Writing from Dickinson College in 1991. He lived in Italy for a year and has traveled extensively in Europe over the last 25 years. He received an MFA in Creative Writing from Arizona State University in 1996 and a Masters in Counseling and Psychology with a focus on Shamanism and Adolescent Development from Prescott College in 1999. Matt is a member of the order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids and graduated from their Druid training program in 2002. He is also a poet, novelist, and a non-dual and shamanic practitioner and teacher.

As a professional, Matt has been an arts educator for 30 years and is the Founder and Head of School of Metro Arts, an art school with 250 students in 7th-12th grades in Phoenix, Arizona. Metro opened in 1998 and is still thriving.
