"The basic content of "Dream Dancing" derives from my experiences attending sun dance and sweat lodge ceremonies. I have always felt personal sacrifice develops a wider experience of the interior realities of the spirit world." ~ Dan Stolpe


In 1972, Stolpe's interest in Native American culture brought him to the Swinomish Indian reservation in Washington. He was invited to become a member of the tribe and to attend sacred spiritual ceremonies. Stolpe lived on the reservation for two years, an experience that he described as "transforming."


Daniel O. Stolpe died in 2018.  He is the brother of Sonja Chesley.
