Michael “Pondhawk” Gulbrandsen is a naturalist and guide and the founder of Natures Whispers. He grew up in upstate New York with acres of woods and streams across the street. He spent the summers exploring and connecting with nature on trails in waterways. In 1995 Pondhawk began to study the connection between hiking trails and sacred spaces, and how they offer the renewal of the inner self and spirit. He brings a lifetime of study of ancient native practices, plant and animal communication, and healing work, facilitated by trained elders to Natures Whispers. His ongoing inspiration is sharing these gifts with others.
