Dreaming Bear
In a world of abundant poetic talents and the ever-expanding mystic genre, Dreaming-Bear Kanaan emerges as a consummate artist of quantum conscious poetry. Weaving together exquisitely crafted, luminous sentence tapestries, Dreaming-Bear’s poetic delivery has been described as Rumi meets Hafiz. Profoundly passionate and inspiring, this stunningly beautiful alchemy penetrates and opens the heart with healing effects that have been called “prophetic!” and “transformational, a lightening rod for joy!”
Classically trained, Dreaming-Bear graduated with a Master’s Degree in performance studies from California State University Long Beach, and for years has been a celebrated author, troubadour, professor, activist, poet, & ordained mystic shaman. Blending the ancient & contemporary, he immersed himself in inspirational performances on stage, in films, colleges, conscious communities, humanitarian benefit concerts, & in homes & private venues world wide via international tours, TV, & pod-casts.
For the last decade, he has been involved in a deeply personal journey of literally turning tears into tenderness, by using his gift as an orator, to raise awareness & action on behalf of refugees & victims of war. Dreaming-Bear is the prodigy of Cherokee & Palestinian parentage, raised in both worlds; mid-east & mid-west literally meet within him, & his family suffers along with thousands of others in war torn refugee camps in Southern Lebanon. It is this paradoxical heritage, which gives Dreaming-Bear the global perspective & unifying presence to create open dialogues of compassion, whilst meeting humanitarian needs, & inspiring people of all incarnations to rise together in love.
“Poetry is a life path, a spiritual journey that has given a way to turn the darkness of cruelty & violence into the light of joy & celebration,” says Dreaming-Bear. “These poems are vessels for the voice of the universe to open hearts to ever-deepening levels of authenticity, compassion and self-acceptance.”
His 8th Book & CD, Wild Love ~Kissed into Consciousness~ is an imaginative, cosmic, & soul stirring testament to the power of this poetry. Ancient wisdom, & cutting edge quantum conscious poetry come together in his performances, enfolding the listener in a transcendent experience of the Divine.
