Podcast appearances and mentions of erin sharaf

This episode was recorded LIVE, together in real life, back in October 2022  in Sedona Arizona. I was on a month-long camper van experiment out West but that's a story for a different day.  This week's guest, Erin Sharaf,  is both a scientist and a mystic. A former primary care provider and university professor who became a mindfulness expert and shaman.  Erin now helps cultivate healing for people and the planet through enhancing the connection between mind-body-spirit and nature. Her work draws on both traditions of modern science and ancient wisdom. We met up for a hike amongst Sedona's red rocks, then sat down to talk about how her own mindfulness journey from a new student, a few decades ago, led her to become a fierce advocate for the planet.  “I sit so we all can rise”. Let that sink in. Magic. What do we do with all that we become aware of when we get still, meditate and can see clearly once the dust of our minds settle?  Do we have a responsibility to do anything about that which we see? For Erin, this is where her passion for social justice, peace and kindness came alive. Mindfulness Teacher
