MICHAEL DERZAK ADZEMA (aka
Mickel Adzema) is a free-lance scholar, who has written for a variety of
international and regional magazines and journals. He has been published
in a number of fields, with articles in The Journal of Humanistic Psychology,
The Journal of Psychohistory, Pre- and Perinatal Psychology Journal, The
Anthropology of Consciousness, Aesthema: The Journal of the International
Primal Association, The Inner Door: The Publication of the Association
for Holotropic Breathwork International, and Primal
Renaissance: The Journal of Primal Psychology. He also writes
for the popular/lay public in magazines that have ranged from The Rose
Garden and Spirit of Change (with a number of articles in each)
to Let's Live and Bestways magazines, and many others.
He has published three books on this site -- Falls
From Grace: Spiritual and Philosophical Perspectives of Prenatal and Primal
Experience, Apocalpyse,
Or New Age? The Emerging Perinatal Unconscious and Primal
Renaissance: The Emerging Millennial Return
(they are each available here, free of charge, in their entirety), and he is nearing
publication on several others, including one which is expected to begin
being uploaded on this website in the near future titled The Once and Current
Generation: Regression, Mysticism, and "My Generation." He specializes in writing about psychology
and spirituality; but has written extensively on their interrelation with
topics such as the environment, consciousness, politics, health and nutrition,
and metaphysics, as well as psychohistory.
Mickel is also a transformational facilitator, offering individual
primal process facilitation; and with his wife, Mary Lynn, he conducts
regular workshops in primal breathwork (based on the Holotropic Breathwork™
of Stanislav Grof). They have recently opened the Primal Spirit Center for
Human Evolution, offering authentic primal process sessions, among other
offerings (see Primal Spirit Center), and
they are offering their facilities as the basis of a possible
spiritual-therapeutic community for those committed to the primal-holotropic
path of spiritual growth (See Primal-Holotropic
Community in California.)
He has received university education at a number
of universities, including Franklin and Marshall College, East Stroudsbug
State University, King's College, University of Colorado at Denver, University
of California at San Diego, World's University in Ojai, California, and
Sonoma State University; and he has studied and been enrolled in the fields
of humanistic psychology, anthropology -- focusing on psychological anthropology,
philosophy, religious studies, transpersonal psychology, and economics.
He holds a Master's degree in "Spiritual Aspects of Prenatal Re-Experience,"
which he received from Sonoma State University in Rohnert Park, California.
At the same university, both as a student and afterwards, he was a university
instructor, each semester teaching a course in Pre- and Perinatal Psychology
-- in fact, he has been cited by the Association for Pre- and Perinatal
Psychology and Health (APPPAH), in their newsletter, as being the first
person in the United States to teach a course in Pre- and Perinatal Psychology
at the university level.
He is the founder of SSILLY God Ventures and AHPPI (Alliance for
Holotropic, Primal, Pre/Perinatal, and Psychohistorical Insight and Information).
He is the publisher and editor of AHPPI’s magazine, Primal
Spirit: The Deeper Wave of the New Age, and webmaster of its site
on the Internet (this one, at http://www.primalspirit.com). He also
serves as the editor of Primal Renaissance:
