In this episode, we dive into a rich conversation with Jon Young, a world-renowned nature connection expert and mentor, exploring the deep interconnection between nature, human biology, and culture. Jon shares insights from his personal journey and experiences with Indigenous communities, particularly the San People- Hnaro- of the Kalahari, highlighting how ancient cultural practices influence our nervous system and wellbeing. Jon also reflects on the lasting impact of his mentor, Tom Brown Jr. who recently passed away. Tom’s legacy of leading with Peace, Love, Joy, and Purpose are woven into the episode, highlighting the transformative power of cultural wisdom. With so much richness, wisdom, experience, beautiful story telling and actually, truly helpful suggestions and insights you will walk away feeling inspired and motivated to become one of the “RGP’S” or “really good people” who can navigate disconnection and embody a sense of belonging and resilience in today’s world. Thank you Jon Young for all that you have done and are doing in bringing this deep work to the world. I want to express deep gratitude to all those named in this episode—Tom Brown Jr., the San People of the Kalahari, Miles Holmes, Kathleen Lockyer, and Craig Foster. Their teachings and wisdom connect me, us, and countless generations past and future in our shared journey of creating a regenerative, interconnected way of living.
