Today's episode details the first six months of staying at a (temporarily shut down) retreat center, in a small cabin surrounded by 106 acres of forest. I quickly determined that there is a creator to our existence, and got my hands in the dirt as a gardener and landscaper for the first time. Navigating extreme isolation by exploring the forest, meeting and befriending the founder of the retreat center, and working with a gardener full of ancient wisdom. I started my own podcast, began to talk about the nature of reality and our place in it, and continued an internal search for more clarity and understanding about the purpose of our existence.
