Robert Scheer is the author of “Understanding Sacred Sites.”
While studying Communications at Michigan State University and earning a B.A. with a major in broadcasting, Robert worked at several small market radio stations, spinning records (this was back in the days of vinyl 45s) , reading the news and writing commercials.
As a television writer, producer and director, he scripted 12 episodes of the CTV musical/variety series Banjo Parlor, as well as countless local and national commercials. With Alan Thicke, he co-wrote a CTV Canada Day special, One Canadian Voice.
For the better part of two years Robert published the consumer travel magazine, Power Trips, that focused on spiritual travel to sacred places.
He is a past president and now an honorary lifetime member of the British Columbia Association of Travel Writers (BCATW). For a while he was also president of the BC chapter of the Travel Media Association of Canada (TMAC). In 2020 he became the editor and publisher of the Travel Thru History website.
As a travel writer and publisher he hunted tigers in India (with a camera), swam with dolphins in Florida, and made fire with a hand drill in a Maasai village in Kenya. He danced by starlight on top of Machu Picchu, marveled at ancient aboriginal rock art in Australia, went snorkeling in Micronesia, climbed a Maya pyramid in the Yucatan, explored Pulau Tiga island in Borneo where the first season of Survivor was staged (the mud volcano is real), and touched the holy rock in Jerusalem where it is said God commanded Abraham to slay Isaac.
These days, in addition to writing, he is Communication Director of Body Mind Spirit Journeys, and does volunteer work for the local House Rabbit Society chapter, vrra.org.
