“Josh Halpern is one of the most creative, thoughtful, and knowledgeable educators I’ve encountered. He is uniquely able to make connections across diverse topics, and he does so in the most engaging and playful of ways. What is more, although Josh is grounded in the perilous realities of today’s environmental situation, he does not inspire through fear; rather, he impresses audiences with his sincere reverence for this planet and his desire to be of service. I have left each of Josh’s presentations not only having learned something (that is, quoting some new exciting fact) but having also having reconnected with my own love for life.  “

“When Josh Halpern begins to perform he ushers you across the threshold of another world: a world in which future fuses with past, animals merge with technology, humans are one with star clusters, disaster zone becomes home, and every orifice of Earth is the birth place of the familiar and strange. The beauty of Josh’s work is that he awakens one to the dire needs of our own world by revealing it’s inherent uniqueness, and showing us that the profane is always sacred.”

“Josh has an uncanny ability of inviting others around him into their own bodies to sit with and explore the depths of emotions that arise from both the beauty and destruction of our Greater Body….Earth. Quite simply, he is a guide, bringing us back into relationship with the full experience of what it means to be alive in this transformative moment in time. We need more Joshes!”

“Josh Halpern – A man who knows no level. Josh has the amazing ability to put everyone in the room at ease. He puts himself fully on the stage of life and allows each person in the room to be drawn in to his orbit, whether during a musical performance or an informative presentation. Josh is fearless in his self-expression, yet vulnerable in his approach to the world. He carefully crafts his performative journeys so that there are no observers, only participants, both swept away and lead, to a destination Josh brings us to together. Josh is a visionary in his understandings of our species and our place in the cosmos, and his creativity gives us all a sense that no matter how dire, we will somehow be ok if we stick together and remember love, laughter, and a good costume.”

“Josh is a warm-hearted Earth warrior with a with a knack for weaving together his many talents into psychedelic tapestries of wonderment. He is a shape-shifting trickster who somehow manages to blur boundaries while simultaneously cultivating a safe and sumptuous garden in which we are invited to join him in roaming, playing, grieving, and grappling with our fragile human existence on this beautiful and imperiled planet.”

“Josh wields a heartfelt, unbridled creativity that will have you laughing, dancing, feeling, and thinking your way far beyond preconceived boundaries you didn’t know you had, all in service of a profound transformation of our way of being in relationship with ourselves and our planet from stuckness to a playful, responsible, joyous freedom. Josh is a generous nurturer who holds a welcoming space with sensitivity and deep engagement with the profound.”
