PAUL M. HELFRICH, Ph.D., has spent the past four decades exploring multidisciplinary approaches as an educator, composer, scholar, author, and lecturer. He earned his undergraduate degree from the Pennsylvania State University (1978) and graduate degrees in music composition from Temple University (1980, 1985), where he composed classical music and taught music theory, history, and composition.

His love of science and technology led him to Philadelphia’s Franklin Institute Science Museum, where he developed major hands-on state-of-the-art science exhibits including What Makes Music? (1987), visited by over two million people in the U.S. and Canada. He spearheaded the formation of The Science Learning Network (1994), a national testbed that promoted distance learning via hands-on science resources among leading science museums and K-8 schools worldwide.

His Mindscapes music CD (2003) is available on iTunes, Rhapsody, and Spotify.

His interest in Integral Psychology led him to earn a Level III Spiral Dynamics Integral certification (2003) and Integral Certificate from Fielding Graduate University (2007).

Helfrich has authored essays, presented workshops, and lectured nationally on the Seth Material, the channeling phenomenon, and Integral Psychology.

He became a Waldorf Class Teacher (2012), completed Waldorf Teacher Training (2013) and graduated the Class of 2020 at the Westside Waldorf School in Pacific Palisades, CA. After taking a year off, he served as a Class teacher, Music Teacher, Board member, and Pedagogical Coordinator until he retired from full-time teaching in June 2024.
