Description

What’s your life purpose? Set on the beautiful island of Tasmania, Australia, the leap is a six month long, wild rite of passage for 10 men on the hunt for their life purpose. Over a six month time frame, the podcast focuses on four of the men as they embark one weekend per month into the wild. Each man goes solo every weekend and looks honestly at the challenges he faces, the quesiton of his life purpose and larger questions about the future of life on earth. More specifically we ask ourselves the question of how does nature inform and support the process of finding life purpose. As the journey unfolds, the men are guided deeper into their relationship with wild place and asked to describe their experience of its influence. Join host Darvis Walker, a Tasmanian guide with 20 years of experience leading expedition journeys into Tasmania’s wildest corner and get to know these men intimately as they hunt and explore their life purpose.

Welcome to the leap.The leap is a six month transformational right of passage for men. Join us once a month as eight men walk out into the wild and unpack their sense of life purpose and what it is they can do with it. Our goal is to utilise the support of the group and take on ever increasing challenge over the six months. The leap crescendos in January with a week long solo in a wild landscape, the Tarkine, on Tasmanias north west coast. My name is Darvis Walker, for the past 20 years I've guided people into the wilds of Tasmania, Australia with a specific goal, to facilitate transformational journeys. Episode one captures my personal journey as we begin this process. Over three days we set our goals, co-forge a safe space and begin to dig into life's big question being, what is my life purpose? More specifically, how does a wild place inform and support my purpose? Personally, this episode is deeply confronting and emotionally raw. I tackle the honest challenges ahead of me with a no bullshit approach. These challenges are established to support me to live with the integrity that I'm wanting from the world. Confronting stuff. Episode one is a prelude to the following episodes where three of the mens journeys will be captured across the entire six months.Welcome to the leap, join us on the inside and bare witness to an extraordinary pilgrimage of purpose for this unique group of courageous men. Darvis
