PAUL CARTER, Ph.d
Paul has a profound respect for the wholeness and integrity of each individual being, giving people a sense of confidence in their own integrity and trust in their own spirit; this is fundamental to his approach in the areas of personal growth, healing work, relationship counseling and sexuality. He is also greatly appreciated for his lightness and his playful approach.
His professional career has spanned 20 years of widely acclaimed training groups of health professionals and educators worldwide. He was trained in hypnotherapy by Dr. Milton Erikson and in family therapy by Dr. Virginia Satir and was a member of the original Bandler-Grinder research team from which the field of NLP arose. He specializes in the powerful combination of trancework used together with creative movement, ritual and the inspirational power of nature. In 1990 Paul joined with Alan Lowen and Niyaso Carter, the founders of the Art of Being. Together they expanded Body, Heart & Soul into a four-week comprehensive education in sexual loving and intimate relating, and created a two year professional training program.
Paul and Niyaso Carter have been divorced for several years. They've continued teaching together because they are a very effective team in supporting others and because they enjoy that part of their connection. They teach and counsel separately as well. They share a piece of land and are committed to raising their daughter Inanna in a way that supports her blossoming.
