I thoroughly am enjoying this "platform"... and all that you are sharing... your way, your path, your astonishment feels so rich and fulfilling to me, and, best of all, it infuses me with me being more of who I am, ME... and living in the world around me... full of magic, glimmerings, connection and "the natural world"... I (we, my family) made the leap (jump and the net will appear) to find our natural sanctuary where we (horses, dogs etc included) would and could find a place to call home that is commensal with what we believe in and a place where all of our true "nature's" would thrive, grow, expand!... and a place we could preserve in its natural habitat.... it all started in my childhood dreams.... fast forward... then through many years full of life, rich full engaged life in "the real world" ( raising family, professional achievements etc)... as we were trending down out of that stage I happened upon Joyride and all the sharings of Joyride, it was 2020 and what kept ringing true was feeling a yearning for what I had dreamed of as a child.... it's going to sound cliche... but living in nature (a natural setting) sustainably and in harmony with the (this place) on earth... I was strengthened and energized and challenged by all of the podcasts you were sharing regarding expanding one's comfort zone in a healthy way.... going beyond our safe place etc... it was in that time that we came upon, discovered, our dream place on earth... A place we felt at home for all of us; humans, horses dogs etc... and create a permanent-culture organic garden and live relatively sustainably...the place we found I had dreamed of, off and on, since childhood.. it came true....the gift of your offerings in 2020 reflected to me, my own deep yearnings and callings and expressions... and now we are living into this dream:)

I have listened to this talk multiple times since you spoke at the conference. Instructions for life…touching, passionate, an ecological truth. Thank you for posting so that I was reminded of the allies, the wonder, the gifts of life.
