4: Reconnecting with Ourselves and the World Around Us (Nick & STRANGER THAN PARADISE)

38 minutes

What do we do when we feel disconnected with our identity and relationships? In this episode, we share insights about how to reconnect with ourselves, nature, other people, and God. Along the way, Nick gets personal with his story, and how he sees it in relation to the film Stranger Than Paradise. We also explore the power of connection through Richard Rohr's contemplative insights and David Denborough's 'Team of Life' Narrative Practice.
