How Walking In Nature Can Reset Your Mind And Soul
What happens when you step away from the noise and busyness of the city and go for a walk?
In this Let's Go For A Walk (And Talk), I'm joined by Gordie Lagore in the beauty of Lynn Headwaters Regional Park. We talk about rest, burnout, presence, and a powerful encounter Gordie had with a bear that turned into something unexpectedly sacred.
This conversation is a gentle invitation to slow down, reconnect, and rediscover what it means to feel human again.
Thanks for walking with us.

Last night, with a few family and friends, I watched Mary Oliver: Saved by the Beauty of the World, a documentary directed by Sasha Waters. It definitely has me thinking about how Mary paid attention, how she connected with the natural world, and how much we might notice if we took the time to be aware like she did.
What is spiritual direction, and is it right for you? Explore how a listening presence can help you grow in self acceptance and openness to God’s love.
What can a river, a forest, or even moss teach us about life?
In this conversation with Peter Reek we discuss seeing midlife as a beginning. Peter sold his company, returned to school, and wrote Shift.
Many people are searching for happiness as if it were something hidden, separate from us and inaccessasible. We read books, listen to podcasts, and try new practices hoping something will finally unlock a deeper sense of joy. But, I have found that joy isn't something we create; it's something we notice.
