How do we begin to answer the call home? By understanding what we’ve lost we can also wake up to what we have. The beginning of the journey is to find what we are curious about. Curiosity exercised turns to passion, which turns to vision and purpose. This episode speaks to what it takes to begin a lifetime journey of connection, purpose and vision as authentic leaders.
Mac is joined in his shed by Jon Young. As a leader in the field of nature-based community building over 30 years, Jon’s research into the impact and significance of nature on human intelligence and development has influenced tens of thousands of people worldwide. As a founder of the 8 Shields Institute, Jon has established best-practices process for cultural modelling and nature connection mentoring. He is actively promoting village building globally as a nature-based model of cultural regeneration for the benefit of current and future generations.

28th June 2017what a wonderful talk! 'Curiosity', 'the Village,' 'picking up the thread' - such powerful words and images that help us build faith, gain strength and keep going. The Journey continues!

18th August 2017Fascinating and multi-layered, as you might expect when a person is talking about reconnection. Addressed the personal inward journey in such a clear non-dogmatic and sympathetic way. Compelling menu of keywords and feelings: curiosity, passion, light in the eyes and a connection that can begin with a hair's breadth.
