29. Fast-Tracking Connection to Place & People

“When we talk about tracking, it's a very holistic definition. It means paying attention, not just with your eyes, but with all your senses.”In this episode we explore the question, "does tracking help us connect deeply with a place more quickly?" Jon and Sarah, having recently returned from two weeks in South Africa and the Kalahari, reflect on the impact that tracking had on their experience, not only connecting with the land but also with people through tracking. We also look at the broader definition of tracking, moving beyond footprints and into awareness of the world around us, our communication with that world, and how our intentions shape our environment. We explore how connection develops, in the deepening of our awareness that occurs through the process of tracking, in our collective engagement with the present moment, and shared curiosity about the world around us.Upcoming Programs:If you're interested in the themes of this podcast episode, our upcoming fall programs explore how to develop them in your own life...October 3rd, 2024 — Free Event: Harmonizing with NatureStarting October 17th — 7 week Journey: Embodying Unity with NatureScheduling Note: due to travel and more obligations than usual, we have decided to move to an every-other-Wednesday release schedule for a few months.Our next episode will release on October 9, 2024.
