From my canoe trip in Ontario:


About a year ago, I heard the story of a wilderness kayaking trip which inspired a couple to change the direction their lives were taking. On this trip, they found new purpose and dove in whole-heartedly. When they told me their story, they said that talking to people about how nature has impacted them leads to deep and amazing conversations.
I knew, right then, that I wanted to have lots of conversations like that. Eventually, I realized that if I recorded those conversations and shared them as a podcast, a lot more people could participate. So the idea for this podcast, Nature Conversations, was born.
I envision this podcast as me holding a space for a broad range of conversations around the topic of nature and humans. I think these are important conversation to have and I look forward to seeing where they go. I am very interested in the connections between people and nature, and curious as to how that plays out in different people’s lives. I hope to hear a broad range of perspectives because I think it will be interesting to see where there is common ground.
I am in the process of getting everything set up to launch the podcast and hope to have the first episode up in the month of August 2010.
