Stephen Parker, PhD is a Jungian psychologist and stone wrestler. He has worked for forty years throughout Alaska and presented on numerous Jungian topics during that time. Stephen has also run a toy store -- Happy Moose Toys -- specializing in sandplay items and a Jungian bookstore.

Heart issues beginning twenty years ago led him to write "Heart Attack and Soul," which became the basis of several solo art shows. He has also been working with stone for twenty years and has built a large Stone Sanctuary with numerous stone features. Most recently, he has been working on a large sunken stone spiral labyrinth, a five-year project.
