EcoSpiritual Guide teaching contemplative walking to reconnect seekers with nature.
Jeffrey Keefer, Ph.D., works as an Educational Consultant and EcoSpiritual Guide, teaching contemplative walking as a spiritual practice. As an ordained Wild Guide and member of Ár nDraíocht Féin: A Druid Fellowship, he weaves ancestral wisdom with the natural world, guiding people from digital overwhelm to genuine connection with what he calls the more-than-human world.
Jeffrey holds a Ph.D. in Educational Research from Lancaster University and graduate degrees from Columbia University, New York University, Hunter College, and the Institute of Religious Studies. He teaches research methodology and serves as a Chaplain at New York University, bringing both academic rigor and lived spiritual experience to his work.
He's walked the French Le Puy route of the Camino de Santiago five times. These walks shaped his approach to pilgrimage—not as a bucket-list achievement but as intentional walking as spiritual practice, moving mindfully through the landscape while staying open to transformation and connection with the sacred. His work helps contemporary seekers discover accessible pathways through ancient practices. Where insight meets earth, growth begins.
