Susan Rangitsch is a licensed professional therapist, an extraordinary
intuitive, a wise guide, a gifted and strong healer, and a shaman when
asked to be. She holds the mirror and light and stands fearlessly with
you. She is an alchemist in the interests of transformation, a
magician, an artist and a writer. She is always at work in the field of
play, and at home where ever she goes.
Susan’s passion for the healing arts has been a clear directive since
childhood when she announced that she wanted to be a psychologist though
she didn’t know what the word meant. She never wavered from the
calling, and finished her Masters Degree in Counseling Psychology from
the University of Oregon at the age of 23. Five years later, she
stepped into the early beginning of the transpersonal movement with Stan
Grof and the other extraordinary thinkers who were bringing the Eastern
paradigms to the forefront. The emerging model was a perfect fit for
Susan, a bridge between the humanistic models of ego development and
those beyond self-actualization. In 1989, Susan returned to school and
completed her doctorate at the University of Montana, writing a
dissertation for a very traditional committee on a transpersonal model
of group orchestration. In order to validate the model, she developed a
quantitative assessment tool for the structures of consciousness as
defined by Ken Wilber and elaborated in his Integral Model of
Development. The project took five years and it substantiated the
theoretical basis of Susan’s work.
Susan lives the journey and her life is a testament to her deep
commitment towards wholeness, though she acknowledges that all she has
become is not yet the one she is becoming. She marks the following as
the most significant events of her long career: Her personal shatterings
along the way; finding Roshi Joan Halifax’s eagle feather in the parking
lot at Esalen and hearing the shaman’s drum for the first time with
Michael Harner; being blown off the mountain during a vision quest;
finally meeting her doctoral committee’s approval; taking the
Bodhisattva Vow of Compassion with the Dalai Lama and receiving his
blessing; and those many extraordinary teaching moments with Richard
Moss.
Susan’s life is dedicated to service, and she is a first responder with
an international relief agency, volunteering in large-scale disasters
and providing emotional and psychological support in special units of
recovery.
She lives in Missoula, Montana, close to nature and close to her
daughter, Katherine, and her husband, Chris.
