DMF 41: The importance of connectedness and the cycles our lives go through: a conversation with my friend Joyce

Update: 2019-04-10

Description

This is the first part of my conversation with Joyce, who has some wisdom to share about why connection--to all things--is important, and how the disconnection our Western civilization teaches us is harming so many things.

Some mentions:

Grandmother's Counsel the World, a book Joyce is reading.

MK Nature Center, a branch of Idaho Fish & Game that teaches outdoor education and gives wildlife experiences only minutes from downtown Boise.

Steven Foster and Meredith Little founded the School of Lost Borders, of which the medicine wheel is an important conceptual piece. Their book, The Four Shields, describes in more detail the directions I roughly sketched in this episode.
