Allan Hardman met Miguel Ruiz in 1995, and has been his active apprentice since that time. Allan's background is in spiritual counseling and emotional healing, and he now brings that experience to his teaching on the Toltec Path.

Allan lives in Sonoma County, about an hour north of San Francisco, in northern California's beautiful redwoods and wine country. When he is not traveling and teaching, he can be found creating beauty and wonderful food in his flower and vegetable garden, or camping in the California mountains.

Before his entry into the healing professions, Allan was a commercial beekeeper, harvesting and distributing honey in California. He also has extensive experience as a landscaper and custom gardener, and once managed a natural food restaurant (Vermont), and a health food store (Hawaii). He has lived in the interior mountains of British Columbia, and loves to travel in the USA and Latin America.

Allan's love of Mexico runs deep. He owns property in a small village ("Santa Cruz") on the west coast of Mexico, north of Puerto Vallarta. He dreams of building a teaching and retreat hacienda there, and inviting friends and students to enjoy the simple life of rural Mexico. (He says he is waiting until they get high speed internet access there!) For now, it is a great place to go to relax and eat his own fresh, ripe bananas.

The "Joydancer" dances in joy with Life. Allan has developed a road map that leads his fellow travelers from the Hell of the Inner Judge and Victim, to the Heaven on Earth of personal freedom as the Joydancer. He shares this road map, and many of the interesting destinations and diversions along the way, with students and groups everywhere. The Joydancer Journey is becoming a book, "The Joydancer: Healing the Drama of the Inner Judge and Victim."

Life is Relationship, and a special passion of Allan's is relationships of all kinds. His healing guidance has helped many marriage partnerships untangle unspoken agreements and hidden agendas, and establish clear and honest communication. He has helped many parents and children learn to respect and hear each other. Another relationship that is often healed through the awareness of these teachings is the addictive relationship with drugs and alcohol, food, and suffering in general.

As a Toltec Master, Allan's work also includes guiding "Joydancer Journeys of the Spirit" to the sacred sites of Mexico and Peru, and supporting hundreds of apprentices in person and worldwide through his Toltec Apprentice Community OnLine ("TACO"). Every second Thursday evening of the month, Allan leads a "Toltec Satsang" in Sonoma County. He shares his love and wisdom in conversations on Personal Transformation, Love, Addictions, Common Sense and other vital topics. Calendar information on Journeys and Satsang.

Allan is available to bring his love and wisdom to your conference, business, school, workshop, or other group. To arrange for Allan to speak at your event, please contact the Joydancer Office at scheduling@joydancer.com, or call (707) 528-1271. You can also Contact Us Here.
