As a result Matt is running the first ever "Project 125" which is a 125km run from Vancouver to Whistler in September 2024.

Hey Friends,We share this episode with heavy hearts, as we continue to watch the unfolding conflict between Israel and Hamas. We recognize this is a sensitive topic, and debated on if, and how we should take up space in this conversation. After much thought and a unrelenting desire to 'say something' to acknowledge the depth, history, nuance and complexity of this conflict we sat down with Dr. Danny Unrau to unpack our thoughts, share grief, and begin a conversation to help us to try and gain a more robust understanding of this heartbreaking conflict we're currently witnessing. We know that no single podcast, news story, social media post, or conversation could possibly do justice to the situation, and our intention was to contribute to bridge building and not polarization. We are so thankful to have had Danny help us walk through some of the history and complexity of what is often reduced to the "Israel/Palestine" conflict. Danny has extensive knowledge of "the land" and its inhabitants, and has a nuanced sociological understanding of the place, as someone who is a self-proclaimed "outisder with a unique perspective" after having lived in and visited Israel and Palestine over 25 times. During their experiences Danny and his wife Lois have lived on a Kibbutz, worked with Palestinian educators and Children in the West Bank, and have experienced and been invited into the lives and stories of people on "all sides" of this conflict. We hope this episode can deepen your understanding, and in some small way, contribute to the efforts of Peace, Shalom, Salem in the land. Z&D Hosted on Acast.

We were so thankful to be able to connect with Dora and have a conversation that spanned her journey into meditation, her ever evolving role as the student-teacher, marrying the practices of artistry, alchemy and education as she guides people through meditations that can help lead to healing, feelings of wholeness, and inner peace.Beyond her work in the wellness space, we get into the practice of cultivating awe, the spirituality of the everyday, and we chat about Dora's more recent relationship with running. Hot on the heals of the Los Angeles marathon Dora relives the experience with us, and she shares about some upcoming goals in movement.Dora is truly a light in this world and we were so excited to sit with her, learn from her, and share a guided meditation with her.
