Toko-pa Turner is an award-winning author, teacher and dreamworker. Blending the mystical tradition of Sufism in which she was raised with a Jungian approach to dreamwork, she founded the Dream School in 2001 from which hundreds of students have since graduated.

As an authority on dreams, Toko-pa has been interviewed by CNN News and BBC Radio. Her bestselling book Belonging: Remembering Ourselves Home explores the themes of exile and the search for belonging. It was awarded the prestigious 2017 Gold Nautilus Award for its contribution to the field of Personal Growth, the 2018 Readers' Favorite Gold Award, was named Finalist in the 2018 Whistler Independent Book Awards, and Finalist for the 2019 Montaigne Medal in the Eric Hoffer Book Awards. 

Sometimes called a 'midwife of the psyche', Toko-pa’s work focuses on restoring the feminine, reconciling paradox, and facilitating grief and ritual practice.
