About

Picture
John Bickart, Ph.D.
John likes to work in the background and let good ideas speak for themselves. He believes that children, and sometimes adults, know what they want and that they empower themselves when they listen to their hearts.
In the 80s and 90s, he consulted on adult education in the corporate world to Fortune 500 companies. He has taught every age group from pre-school to adult and every type of student from emotionally disturbed to gifted in public and private schools as well as state prisons. He has taught in Shanghai to Peewaukie - New York City to San Francisco.
 
John is all about heart thought - experiencing the fun - the deep joy - of finding relationship with this incredible world of ours. He is passionately grateful for the wonders of nature, including humankind. He considers just about everyone he meets as a friend.
