Patty Bear is an international airline captain, life coach, self-certified master multitasker, garden and interior design whiz, and voracious reader and self-learner. A pioneer rising out of a childhood in the insular and male-dominated world of the "Plain People," she became one of the early female Air Force pilots during the first decade women graduated from pilot training. She has spent over thirty years dedicated to the study of defying gravity: escaping conditioning, walking the transformational journey, and the practice of following the call of the wild soul. In 2016, she coauthored House of the Sun: A Visionary Guide for Parenting in a Complex World with Pat Shannon. Patty currently lives on the east coast with her family.
