Kathryn was born in the Himalayas. However, both her parents were English and had the same desire of "going out to India, spreading the Gospel message and serving the poor," explains my guest. Living in Vienna as a young girl, Kathryn remembers her parents taking in refugees who were seeking political asylum and it was normal to have refugees sleeping on their floor regularly. These memories had a profound effect on Kathryn and she was certain that this is how her interests in helping the less fortunate  came to be.  Kathryn shares that her mother was not warm and fuzzy but she was from the generation of tough and strong women. Kathryn always felt very loved. Ruby was a teacher and taught her daughter and other children from the Embassy. Ruby was determined that Kathryn would not be spoiled. Kathryn was soon sent to boarding school because her parents were working and traveling regularly. "A little pencil in God's hand" is how Mother Teresa would refer to herself. She never wanted credit  or accolades for her work. "She could be a tough cookie," Spink reflects however, "she was difficult to deal with sometimes, because God was so definitely on her side and that could make things tough. Mother Teresa was so determined, nothing could get in her way." "Poverty saddened Mother Teresa the most according to Kathryn,  "I don't think it angered her not in relation to God. Waste most likely angered her the most but never with God." Mother Teresa was always seeing the presence of God in the poor and it helped her persevere.  "Tolerance was deeply ingrained in Mother Theresa" explains Ms. Spink. "Mother Teresa believed that God was at work in every soul, so it wasn't up to her to try and convince others of the 'correct/best religion." My guest remarks "Mother Teresa used to say "come to Calcutta and I'll put you to work".  This is what this demure but mighty  woman believed with her whole body, mind and spirit. Kathryn even shared stories of the similarities between Mother Teresa, whose birth name was Agnes, and her mother Drana. "The family that prays together, stays together" was one of Drana's favorite expressions according to Spink. Caring for the sick was a common thread for the two woman.  "It's not always about the physical suffering, but the whole process of being abandoned by people" was one of the toughest things for Mother Teresa to comes to terms with, comments Spink. Mother Teresa founded the order, "The Missionaries of Charities." She wanted to give shelter to  abandoned babies and to help the poorest of the poor. In 1979 she received the Nobel Peace Prize and after her death was canonized as Saint Teresa.  I could have listened for hours to my guest share her stories of all of these selfless women. Mother Teresa was known as 'Mother' because when a nun/sister is appointed to a superior position within  the church, they are known as 'Mother.' INFORMATION: Kathryn Spink is the author of several books on the work of Mother Teresa and her coworkers, as well as other inspiring contemporary figures, including Brother Roger of Taize, Beede Griffiths, Dominique LaPierre, Prince Charles' and Lady Diana Spencer and more.  My guest is also the chronicler of the “South African Women's Human Rights Organization.”  https://www.kathrynspink.com/ https://www.harpercollins.com/blogs/authors/kathryn-spink-20167212026170   "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Jack Clabby and co-host Kayley Melton, recording live from Tampa B-Sides at the University of South Florida, talk with Mudita about imposter syndrome, AI's curveballs for security teams, leadership without a leadership title, and the importance of community in staying on top of a field that never stops moving. She also reflects on what great mentorship looks like early in a career and why clarity, ownership, and consistency are the leadership qualities she keeps coming back to.

Send us Fan MailWe continue our theme of "Movies That Couldn't Be Made Today" with one that literally couldn't (for TECH-nical reasons). . .  we are watching something filmed in vibrant, beautiful, and now extinct TECHNICOLOR!!!  Our shining example of this format is 1947's "Black Narcissus."  Directed by the duo of Powell and Pressburger, starring Deborah Kerr and David Farrar, this film is about a group of nuns tasked with setting up a convent high in the Himalayas, leaving familiarity behind and grappling with the mysticism and other-worldliness of this strange setting.We also review in layman's terms what the Technicolor process is, what made it so special, and why it is not possible to recreate it in today's world.So, as Hamlet tells Ophelia, so we advise you, "Get thee to a nunnery... go!"

Brett Hochstein is one of the most prominent shapers and collaborators in contemporary golf course design having worked closely with Tom Doak, Gil Hanse, Todd Eckenrode and many other designers. Most recently he was instrumental in the reconstruction of the bunkers and greens at Pasatiempo with Jim Urbina while simultaneously building a roster of his own unique clients. Brett sits down with Derek to discuss the replication process at Pasatiempo using photography from 1929 and 1930, the possibility of re-establishing the greens at one of Alister MacKenzie’s last course designs in Sacramento, the importance of knowing when to keep your mouth shut, the current state of Himalayas putting greens, the nebulous route to becoming an architect and how mowing adjustments can enhance the playability of even simple municipal courses.

The Himalayan glaciers are melting more rapidly as global temperatures rise, raising concerns about the future of ecosystems and communities across the Himalayan mountain range. Glaciers store more than two thirds of the world's freshwater and help regulate global temperatures by reflecting the sun's rays.Across South Asia, melting ice is contributing to the formation of unstable glacial lakes and increasing the risks of floods, droughts and avalanches. The Himalayas are a vital source of water for millions of people, supporting agriculture, energy production and livelihoods from tourism.Experts warn that continued glacier loss could have significant consequences for people living in the region and the mountainous ecosystem, but what can be done to respond to these changes?This week on The Inquiry, we're asking: are the Himalayan glaciers at a tipping point?Contributors: Pasang Yangjee Sherpa, assistant professor at the University of British Columbia, Canada Pam Pearson, director and founder of the International Cryosphere Climate Initiative, US Matthias Huss, glaciologist and senior scientist at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich, Switzerland Alton Byers, faculty research scientist at the Institute of Artic and Alpine Research at the University of Colorado, USPresenter: Tanya Beckett Producer: Matt Toulson Researchers: Evie Yabsley and Amelia Cox Editor: Tom Bigwood Technical producer: Mitch Goodall Production management: Phoebe Lomas and Liam Morrey(Photo: Trekkers walk to Everest Base Camp in Nepal.

This episode covers the start of chapter 33 to: “…could Christ indeed be followed except in the overarching Spirit?” Summary: The meeting focused on discussing Chapter 33 of "Autobiography of a Yogi" by Paramahansa Yogananda, which introduces the character of Babaji. The participants, including Chris, Priyank, Michael, and Lauren, explored Babaji's significance as an avatar, his mysterious presence in the Himalayas, and his connections to other spiritual masters like Jesus and Omar Khayyam. They examined Yogananda's interpretation of Omar Khayyam's poetry and its spiritual meaning, discussing how Western interpretations often miss the deeper mystical content. The group also touched on the concept of avatars and different levels of spiritual liberation, including the terms Siddha, Jivan Mukta, and Paramukta as described in the text. The discussion concluded with a preview of upcoming episodes that would delve deeper into Babaji's mission and experiences. 0:00 Introduction; 3:09 Expectations from the chapter; 9:22 Mahavatar Babaji; 26:05 Rubaiyat and Omar Khayyam; 39:30 Freedom; 43:30 Looking Ahead. Links discussed in this episode:  https://www.holydham.com/stories-related-to-badrinath/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dashavatara Homework for next episode— Read, absorb and make notes on the next part of chapter 33 from: “Krishna, Rama, Buddha, and Patanjali were among the ancient Indian avatars…” to “…he occasionally accepts fruits, or rice cooked in milk and clarified butter”. #autobiographyofayogi  #autobiographylinebyline  #paramahansayogananda Autobiography of a Yogi awake.minute Self-Realization Fellowship Yogoda Satsanga Society of India #SRF #YSS

He is an internationally renowned energy healer and spiritual guide with well over a decade of experience in helping people clear negative energies and close dark portals and get better sleep. So, join us, to find out more! Herman Petrick is originally from Portland, Oregon. Herman began his professional career in the corporate world. About fifteen years ago, his energetic awareness expanded beyond the ordinary. Now, Herman is an intuitive energy healer and the founder of Global Energy Clearing.

Herman has learned to connect with individuals on a soul level. His specialty is remote energy healing for individuals, for families and spaces.

Typical of the Jack Kirby comics we’ve read from the 1970s, the 1977 Black Panther series is a wild ride. Issues 5 and 6 feature a city of samurai (apparently nowhere near Japan), a yeti (nowhere near the Himalayas), and a nuclear missile (which is far too close to Wakanda). Wait, did we say “Wakanda”?! At last the series is inching back to the familiar territory, literally and figuratively, of a Black Panther story! But first, Panther has to survive Abner Little‘s snafu in the Samurai City. Tim and Emmet are along for the ride. Brought to you by: Worst Collection Ever podcast Bat Bits podcast Our supporters on Patreon

This episode covers last part of chapter 32 from: “Very scanty information about the life of Lahiri Mahasaya and his universal doctrine…”  to the end of the chapter. Summary: The last section of chapter 33 focuses on the biography of Lahiri Mahasaya. We explore the details about Lahiri Mahasaya's life, including his birth in 1828, his traditional Brahmin upbringing, and his eventual meeting with his guru Babaji in the Himalayas at age 33, which marked the revival of Kriya Yoga. The discussion included insights about Hindu traditions, spiritual practices, and the symbolic connections between the Ganges river and the flow of Kriya Yoga into the world. The episode concluded with reflections on how Guruji's storytelling conveys profound spiritual truths in an engaging way, setting the stage for the upcoming chapter about Mahavatar Babaji. 0:00 Prior Episode; 1:47 Swami Satyananda; 4:45 Yoga in the West; 12:15 Shyam Charan Lahiri; 42:10 Material wealth; 53:30 The whole picture of Lahiri Mahasaya; 1:02:05 Ganga and Bhagirath; 1:12:15 Reflections on the chapter. Links discussed in this episode: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satyananda_Giri https://www.yoganiketan.net/historical-books/scriptural-commentaries/ Homework for next episode— Read, absorb and make notes on the start of chapter 33 to: “…could Christ indeed be followed except in the overarching Spirit?”  #autobiographyofayogi  #autobiographylinebyline  #paramahansayogananda Autobiography of a Yogi awake.minute Self-Realization Fellowship Yogoda Satsanga Society of India #SRF #YSS

Have you ever felt like you're so caught up in your daily roles and responsibilities that you've lost touch with who you are beneath all of that?   Dr. Stacey Funt, a radiologist, health coach, and founder of LH Adventure Travel, believes that travel has the power to help us reconnect: not just with the world around us, but with ourselves. She curates wellness and adventure group trips for women to some of the most transformative destinations on earth, from trekking the Inca Trail to exploring the Atlas Mountains to hiking in the Himalayas. But the real transformation doesn't come from the destinations themselves. It comes from what happens when women finally give themselves permission to step away from everything they're responsible for and into an experience that's entirely their own.   Dr. Stacey Funt and I discuss why that permission is often the hardest part, what changes when you remove the mental load of planning and managing everything, and why traveling with a group of like-minded women creates such a unique space for vulnerability and connection. She also opens up about how a solo trek in Nepal during one of the darkest periods of her life became the catalyst for building a business around creating these kinds of experiences for others.

In this episode, we break down THE SECRET LIFE OF WALTER MITTY starring Ben Stiller — the visually stunning adventure drama that quietly became one of the most inspiring movies of the 2010s. We dive into how the film balances fantasy and reality, using Walter's daydreams to explore fear, purpose, loneliness, and the desire to truly live life instead of just watching it pass by.We analyze Ben Stiller's performance and direction, the breathtaking cinematography, and how the movie's soundtrack and imagery create such an emotional atmosphere. From Iceland to the Himalayas, the film transforms a simple story into a journey about courage, self-discovery, and stepping outside your comfort zone.We also break down why this movie resonates so deeply with people who feel stuck in routine, and how Walter Mitty slowly evolves from escapism into a story about embracing real life. This is one of those rare feel-good movies that genuinely leaves you wanting to live differently — and we explain exactly why it works so well.

Guest BioAlexander Souri is the founder and executive director of Relief Riders International, an organization he launched in 2004 to combine adventure travel with meaningful humanitarian work. Through Relief Riders, Alexander designs and leads horseback-based missions that deliver medical care, educational programs, and community support to remote villages where access to services is limited. The organization brings together travelers, volunteers, and local partners to create journeys that provide both cultural immersion and tangible aid to underserved communities.Before founding Relief Riders International, Alexander worked as a producer in theater, film, and large-scale special events. His career included involvement in major productions such as The Matrix, X-Men, End of Days, and Back to the Future: The Ride, along with directing commercial and industrial film projects internationally, including work in Beijing. His background in storytelling, logistics, and production now informs the way he organizes complex humanitarian expeditions in remote environments.Born in New York City to a French mother and an Indian father, Alexander grew up with a deeply international perspective. He attended boarding school in the foothills of the Himalayas in India and later studied at an international high school in Sophia Antipolis in southern France before graduating from Simon's Rock of Bard College in Massachusetts. These cross-cultural experiences helped shape his worldview and inspired the mission behind Relief Riders International—creating opportunities for travelers to experience adventure while contributing to positive change in communities around the world.Show SummaryIn this episode of the Big World Made Small Adventure Travel Podcast, host Jason Elkins speaks with Alexander Souri, the founder of Relief Riders International. Alexander shares the story of how his career shifted from film and theater production into humanitarian work after a personal turning point led him to seek a more meaningful path. What began as a search for purpose eventually grew into an organization that delivers aid to remote communities through horseback-based relief missions.Alexander reflects on his internationally shaped upbringing, including formative years spent in Afghanistan, India, and France. These experiences helped shape his cultural identity and gave him a broader understanding of the world at an early age. The conversation explores how these influences, along with the challenges of navigating family expectations and career transitions, ultimately guided him toward creating a mission-driven organization.Jason and Alexander also discuss the unique model behind Relief Riders International, where adventure travel meets humanitarian service. By traveling on horseback into isolated areas of India, Turkey & Ecuador, teams are able to bring medical camps, educational support, and other critical programs to villages that often lack access to basic services. Along the way, Alexander reflects on lessons about burnout, resilience, family relationships, and how travel and exploration often become powerful catalysts for personal growth and self-discovery.

What many of us are missing in modern life is a right of passage that brings us into an expansion on our path through sacred initiation. And when that right of passage is performed on sacred lands that have magical beings like Ireland, it can be even more incredible. Today's guest is Neils Vantzuriel. For over 10 years, he and his partner have guided highly successful women into Ireland's wild landscapes and to forgotten sacred sites to resolve their private ache of self abandonment. Join us, to find out more! Neils Vantzuriel is deeply dedicated to personal and spiritual development. He is an archeologist with intimate knowledge of Ireland's sacred ancient sites, living entities holding secrets from millennia past. Liminal spaces, where the veil is thin. Found in forgotten remote areas such as secluded grottos, caves, sacred wells or specific structures that contain “memory traces” or specialized artifacts of a period of personal challenge, learning, and vulnerability and represent a change in identity, shape, social cohesion, and transform individuals from one social role to another. Neils is a Co-architect of The Arrival Method, a 4-6 month sacred initiation culminating in a 6 day Rite of Passage journey. Neils guides women along their journey of reconnection to ancient wisdom, spiritual healing through ritual and story telling for self discovery. Watch or listen to the show for practical tips to stop self abandoning and ways to become the woman you always felt you were meant to be. You’re Invited! LEARN MORE: AdventuresInQuietPlaces.info   NIELS VANTZURIEL BIO Niels is a Rite of Passage facilitator and the co-architect of The Arrival Method. For over 10 years, he has guided highly successful women into Ireland's wild landscapes and to forgotten sacred sites to resolve their private ache of self-abandonment. Moving beyond the exhausted “no pain, no gain” paradigm of traditional growth, Niels pioneers the “Pleasure Path”; a ‘biological exit strategy’ for the overworked and burned out professional woman. By blending deep trance work, transformative storytelling, and the hard neurobiology of bliss, he helps women safely bypass their brain’s logic gatekeeper to fundamentally rewire their subconscious operating system. His work utilizes ecstatic states to induce transient hypofrontality, allowing for profound neuroplasticity and rapid identity-level shifts without the need for looping therapy or trauma-mining. Niels does not host retreats; he curates structural identity upgrades. Through carefully held ceremonies at hidden thresholds far off the tourist paths, he provides the exact space, science, and containment required for a woman to stop fixing herself and finally step into her undeniable sovereignty. blend of spiritual depth, practical strategy, and bold authenticity, Niels brings catalytic energy and deep insight to every conversation.

The sinner-to-saint story is prevalent in Christianity. There are countless examples of men and women who saw the proverbial light and made a change for the better. But what about in other faiths? In the East, such figures can also be found in Buddhism. And in Tibet, perhaps none is as famous as the subject of this week's episode. We return to the Himalayas this week, dear listeners, for a look at the wondrous life of Milarepa!

One of Natalia's favorite quotes:Because it's there- George Leigh MalloryEpisode Description: In Part 2 of my conversation with Natalia, we go all in, from the moment the dream became real to standing at the foot of the highest mountain on Earth.We start with the preparation. Not the highlight reel, but the real stuff. Training for altitude, building endurance, dialing in gear, and figuring out what actually matters when you're heading into the Himalayas. Natalia opens up about what she did to get ready, what worked, what didn't, and the fears she carried before ever stepping on a plane.Then we hit Nepal.She takes us right into the chaos and beauty of Kathmandu… and that moment in Lukla when it all becomes real. From there, we walk step by step through the trek itself, the rhythm of the days, the people on the trail, the food, the exhaustion, and the moments that take your breath away in more ways than one.We talk about altitude… hitting the wall… pushing through… and the mental side of a journey like this that most people don't see.And then Basecamp.That moment. The emotion. The reality of standing there after everything it took to get there.We wrap with reflection, what this experience taught her, how it changed her, and what happens when you come back home after something like Everest. Because the truth is… you don't come back the same.If you've ever thought about Everest Basecamp or just wondered what it really takes, this episode gives you the full picture.And yeah… we might even talk about what's next.

Tibet's story is one of the most profound of the modern era — a civilisation forced into exile, carrying its language, philosophy, and sacred texts across the Himalayas in an act of collective survival. Preserving that heritage, while also engaging the modern world, has become one of the defining challenges for Tibetans in diaspora. Few people embody that challenge more personally than Geshe Lhakdor. Born in Tibet in 1956, he fled to India as a child, went on to spend sixteen years as the personal English translator and religious assistant to His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama, and has since become the Director of the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives in Dharamsala — one of the most important repositories of Tibetan knowledge in the world.

I took this episode from an article I wrote for Flying Snake magazine, which was published in December 2020 (Vol. 6, #18). Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. The Great Smoky Mountains is a subrange of the Appalachian Mountains, which stretches from the middle of Alabama in the United States north into southeastern Canada. The Appalachians formed when the world's continents crunched together to form the supercontinent Pangaea. The southern Appalachians formed separately and later than the northern Appalachians, around 270 million years ago. The Appalachians were once as high as the Rockies or Himalayas, but by the time the dinosaurs went extinct, they had eroded down to the mountain cores. Sediment weathered from the peaks and filled in valleys. But during the Pleistocene, when massive glaciers covered the northern parts of North America, the weight of the ice pushed the North American plate down, causing the southern part of the plate to rise. Eventually the ancient mountains' roots were a thousand feet (300 m) above sea level again. Rivers that once flowed east into the Atlantic Ocean or west into the remains of the shallow Western Interior Seaway shifted their courses to flow northward. Streams that once meandered across the land now plunged down steep slopes and dug gorges into the rock. And over thousands of years, animals and plants retreating from the ice migrated southward along the mountain range. When the climate warmed some 11,000 years ago and the ice age glaciers melted, many cold-adapted species were trapped in the peaks of the southern Appalachians. One of the highest peaks is Mount LeConte, with its highest point, High Top, measured at 6,593 ft, or 2,010 meters. I hiked Mount LeConte on 7 May, 2016 when the weather in nearby Knoxville, Tennessee was a warm 82 Fahrenheit, or 27.8 Celcius, but there was snow on the mountain that morning. I wrote my name in it. A spruce-fir forest grows on the upper slopes, a remnant of forest that grew throughout the mountains during the last ice age. The climate at the peak of Mount LeConte is more like that of southern Canada than the warm, humid southeastern United States. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park was established in 1934 to protect the mountains along the Tennessee/North Carolina border. No one lives in the park's 800 square miles (2,072 square km), which receives up to 90 inches [2.29 m] of rain a year, some of it from hurricanes that sweep up from the southern Atlantic or the Gulf of Mexico. Large tracts of old-growth forest still remain in the park too. So as you can see, the Smokies are a biodiversity hotspot. In 2018, the park announced its 1,000th species discovered that is new to science, which by July 2020 had grown to 1,025. Overall, 20,000 known species live in the park as of 2019 and scientists estimate that up to 100,000 more are yet to be discovered. The Smokies are heavily forested, of course, but some mountain summits and crests have no trees. Instead, native grasses and shrubs grow. They're called grassy balds and no one is sure why they exist. The prevailing theory is that Pleistocene megaherbivores opened the forests for grazing, and after their extinction, the balds remained open due to bison, elk (wapiti), and deer. When white settlers moved into the area, they used the balds to graze cattle and other livestock. Remains of mammoth and mastodon, musk ox, ground sloth, and other megaherbivores have been excavated from various balds throughout the park. Amphibian enthusiasts call the Smokies the Salamander Capital of the World, with 30 known species. Largest of these is the hellbender, which we talked about in episode 14, a giant salamander that can grow nearly 2 ½ feet long, or 74 cm, and which lives in swift-moving mountain streams. It's most closely related to the Chinese and Japanese giant salamanders, which can grow over twice as long as the hellbender. Twenty-seven of the salamanders found in the Smokies are lungless, in the family Plethodontidae. Instead of breathing with lungs or gills, the lungless salamanders absorb oxygen through their skin. Of these, the red-cheeked salamander is endemic to the Smokies—that is, it's found nowhere else in the world. The red-cheeked salamander lives in forests in high elevations. It can grow up to seven inches long, or 18 cm, and is gray or black with bright red patches on its face. It spends the day in a burrow, then comes out at night to find insects in the leaf litter. But it's hard to tell apart from the imitator salamander, although the imitator only grows a little over four inches long, or 11 cm. The imitator has red cheeks but its body is patterned black and brown instead of solid gray or black. Sometimes its cheeks are yellow, too, while the red-cheeked salamander only ever has red cheeks. Another animal found only in the Smoky Mountains, although it may also be present in mountains outside of the park, is a species of jeweled spider fly called Mary-Alice's emerald (Eulonchus marialiciae). Mary-Alice's emerald has a metallic-green body and yellow legs, and the adults eat nectar. But the larvae eat spiders. Specifically, they parasitize spiders. After hatching, the larva goes in search of a spider, especially trapdoor spiders that live in burrows. When it finds one, it works its way into the spider's body and eats it from the inside out, eventually killing it. Then it pupates in the burrow and emerges as an adult spider fly. It prefers high elevations that are cool and moist. A less horrific animal found in the Smokies is the Carolina northern flying squirrel. It was one of the species whose ancestors migrated south along the Appalachians during the Pleistocene. Then, after temperatures started to warm, the cold-adapted flying squirrel migrated north again. Some populations remained on mountaintops in the Smoky Mountains and have been isolated for thousands of years, evolving into a subspecies of flying squirrel found only in high elevations of the Smokies. It's much rarer than the southern flying squirrel that lives throughout the southeastern United States, and prefers spruce forests instead of the hardwood forests that southern flying squirrels like. But the spruce forests are threatened by climate change, the introduced woolly adelgid insect that kills fir trees, and pollution in the form of acid rain and pesticides that travel to the mountains from other states and even other countries. The Carolina northern flying squirrel has a patagium of furry skin that connects its front and back legs. When it jumps from a branch, it stretches its legs out and uses the patagia to glide to a new perch. It's clumsy on the ground, though, and spends most of its time in trees. It mostly eats fungi, mushrooms, and lichens, but will also eat nuts, insects, bird eggs and even baby birds, and other plant material like tree sap and buds. Bobcats still live in the Smokies, but the cougar, or mountain lion, was supposedly killed off in the area by the end of the 19th century. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service removed the eastern cougar subspecies from the endangered species list in 2018, since it is supposed to be extinct. The last cougar in what is now the park was supposedly killed in 1920. But sightings continue in the Smokies, close to a dozen a year, and some sightings are compelling, like the 2002 report of a cougar crossing a road in the park, spotted by a veterinarian who treated captive cougars in his practice. Considering how seldom seen the bobcat is despite it being relatively abundant, it's possible that a small number of cougars still live in the park—either animals that have moved back into the mountains from elsewhere, or a relict population. The red wolf is native to the eastern United States and was once common in the Smoky Mountains, but was killed off by white settlers throughout most of its range. Where it remained in the wild, it interbred with closely related coyotes, until it was declared extinct in the wild in 1980. Fortunately, by then a captive breeding program was in place. Starting in 1991, 37 red wolves were released in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in Tennessee, following the release of 63 red wolves into the Alligator River Natural Area in North Carolina a few years earlier. But the release didn't go well in the Smokies. Wolves are shy and need enormous territories with lots of game. Before long some wolves were leaving the park and attacking livestock. Others died of parvo virus, especially wolf pups. Worse, this was about the same time that coyotes moved into the area from the west. The wolves started interbreeding with the coyotes, and the coyotes also competed with the wolves for food. In 1998, the Fish and Wildlife Service ended the program and recaptured all but one of the wolves originally released into the park. The North Carolina release went better, with a population peak in 2006 estimated at nearly 130 wolves. But that program was suspended in 2015, and without management of the wild population, the number has dwindled. As of 2019, only 14 wolves remain in North Carolina—and that's the entire population of red wolves in the wild. But sightings of red wolves continue in the Smokies. The trouble is that the red wolf looks very similar to the coyote. It's taller and larger, with a more pronounced reddish shade to its coat, but even experts can have trouble telling the two species apart if they can't get a good look at the animal. Most likely people are seeing coyotes, possibly ones descended from red wolf/coyote hybrids born during the reintroduction program. The biggest mystery in the park is the occasional sighting of a Bigfoot-type creature. Most sightings are probably bears, though. An estimated 1,500 American black bears live in the Smokies, and while some bears get used to hikers and tourists, most are shy and seldom seen. A black bear keeping an eye on hikers or cars will sometimes stand on its hind legs for a better view, and would naturally look like a hulking humanoid if glimpsed. But other sightings aren't so easy to explain. In February of 2009, a photographer named Deb Campbell was hiking the Middle Prong Trail in the snow. The Middle Prong Trail passes three major waterfalls and many smaller ones as it follows along a tributary of the Little River. She had the trail almost completely to herself—she says she only saw one person the whole time. Later she reported, “[A]t some point I am photographing along the stream and I start to smell a gawd awful stench. Not really like anything I had ever smelled before. I look around, see nothing, listen intently…nothing. So I finish up at that spot and go further up the trail.” The smell receded behind her but the snow increased, so finally she turned around to hike out. Around the area where she smelled the stink earlier, she started feeling watched. She stopped long enough to secure her camera gear for much faster hiking in slick conditions, when she heard a deep growl that she described as “very low, not like a cat, almost guttural.” Needless to say, she got off the mountain as quickly as possible. The black bear doesn't truly hibernate since its body temperature remains normal instead of dropping, but it does find a den in cold weather and will sleep for long stretches. It may emerge from its den occasionally during the winter during warm spells, but for the most part it's asleep in its den from around November through March in the Smoky Mountains. But Campbell was hiking in February during a snowfall, with snow already on the ground. A bear would most likely not be out of its den in that weather unless it had been disturbed. And bears don't actually smell bad. During the winter hibernation most bears don't defecate at all. Any feces left in a bear's digestive tract harden to form a fecal plug. If it does feel the need to defecate near the end of the winter, it will do so just outside its den, but the fecal plug has very little odor. Even under ordinary conditions, unless a bear has been eating carrion, it will smell no worse than a dog that needs a bath. Not only that, black bears don't actually growl. They make grunty, huffing noises when warning people away or when males fight in the summer, and a frightened bear will moan, but they don't growl like a dog. It's possible that Campbell hiked past a bear that had emerged from its den early and had found and eaten carrion, possibly roadkill, and that she was so close to the bear without seeing it that she smelled its breath. That's almost more frightening than the thought of passing near a Bigfoot. The growl might have come from a different animal, a coyote or who knows, maybe even a red wolf. Or Campbell might have encountered a creature sometimes called a skunk ape due to its foul odor. The skunk ape is most commonly reported in Florida swamps, but sightings—or smellings—have come from many other states. The smell is sometimes described as that of rotting food and roadkill on a hot day. A bear or other animal that has been rooting around in garbage bins can pick up this odor, especially in hot weather, but it's hard to believe that a bear would be actively foraging so much in winter that it would smell like trash. January and February are the depths of winter in East Tennessee. The bears are hibernating, not foraging. Thanks for your support, and thanks for listening! This is what a couple of fighting bears sound like: [bear sounds]

George Schaller is widely regarded as one of the founders of modern field biology — a scientist whose work helped transform how we study animals in the wild. From gorillas in the Congo to snow leopards in the Himalayas, his research has shaped conservation for decades. This week, WCS Wild Audio caught up with author Miriam Horn to discuss her new biography of Schaller, Homesick for a World Unknown, and the legacy of a life spent observing wildlife.

In this episode we meet with one of my co hosts for our upcoming retreat, Bradley Lovell. An incredible talk diving into his story and what he had done over the last 15 years to become more in tune with himself. He shares his learnings with us in how to empower ourselves to reconnect, the importance of creativity, identity and of course... our upcoming retreat!About our guest:Bradley James is a longtime meditation practitioner and facilitator who stewarded the Southeast Vipassana Center in southern Georgia for three years. With thousands of hours in silence and multiple 10–30 day retreats, his practice has a fermata at its core—an intentional lingering that invites the numinous quiet most people rush past. Years of travelling—including hiking in the Himalayas and Patagonia, completing the Pacific Crest Trail, and backpacking across South America—have given him a wayfarer's sensibility: simple, spacious, and attentive to the body's weather. A true Renaissance soul, he makes striking wood-and-epoxy pieces -  tactile prayers dressed in brilliant colors—and composes music that is heart-opening and kinetic. Above all, he seeks to be of service to those aiming for freedom; the instruments he brings are humble and exacting—his hands and his voice.Bradley's links:Bradley's IG: https://www.instagram.com/brotherbradleyjames/Vital Reset retreat: https://www.vitalresetretreat.com/Stephanie's links:Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@drstephpeacockInstgram: https://www.instagram.com/drstephpeacock/Website: https://stephaniepeacock.com/

A message from the Host:Natalia, It's hard to put into words how much it's meant to not only work alongside you, but to call you a true friend. From the days in Texas to the trails in the Tatras, you've always brought this steady strength, positivity, and quiet determination that people just naturally respect.Watching you go from those early hikes… to setting your sights on something as big as Everest Base Camp, it's been inspiring in a way that goes beyond hiking. It's about believing in yourself, even when it's uncomfortable… and going after it anyway.I'm proud of you. Truly. And I'm grateful for your friendship.- JasonEpisode Description (Part 1):From Texas to the Tatras, Natalia's Journey Begins ...In this special episode of the Trailblazing Texas Podcast, I'm sitting down with someone who means a lot to me, my good friend Natalia, as we kick off her incredible journey toward Everest Base Camp.Before we ever get to the Himalayas, we rewind the story to where it all began, how we met, and the unexpected path that brought Natalia from Warsaw to Houston. She shares what she thought life in Texas would be like… and how reality had a few surprises waiting. From culture shock to unforgettable memories, this part of her story sets the foundation for everything that comes next.We also dive into Natalia's roots in growing up in Poland, how hiking first entered her life, and what keeps pulling her back to the mountains. Whether it's the challenge, the solitude, or the sense of discovery, you'll hear what fuels her passion, and how she balances it all with a demanding professional life.Then… we relive one of our favorite shared adventures, our trip to the Tatra Mountains.A group trip full of laughs, unexpected moments, and yes… a little skepticism on my part about how a crew of developers would handle the mountains. From rapidly changing weather to unforgettable views, we break down the moments that stuck with us, and how that experience may have quietly built the confidence needed for something much bigger.Because that's where this episode starts to shift…From a love of hiking… to a bold idea: “I'm going to Everest Basecamp.”Natalia opens up about what sparked that decision, the reactions she got from family (especially her mom), and the internal battle that comes with chasing something this big. Was it always a dream? Or did it grow over time?This is Part 1 of a powerful story about friendship, growth, and the early steps toward one of the most iconic treks in the world.

#223 - What does it take to stay teammates for 30 plus years while crossing borders, missing comforts, and choosing the hard route on purpose? I'm joined by John and Ann Craig Cinnamon, a travel power couple who've visited 120 plus countries on seven continents, and they're honest about the part most people skip: real adventure travel can be exhausting, tense, and unpredictable, and that's exactly why it changes you.We dig into the way travel exposes personality fast, from idea-making to logistics to how you handle stress when plans break. John and Ann share the travel philosophy they call “While We're In The Neighborhood,” why they rarely visit just one country at a time, and how experiences like the Running of the Bulls, Oktoberfest, and the Trans-Siberian Railway became markers in a life built on curiosity. Their all-time favorite story is a Himalayas trek from Kathmandu toward Mount Everest, where tea houses, altitude, a local guide, and even a hard-earned scar turned a difficult hike into a memory they still revisit.The conversation also goes deep on authentic travel and human connection: meeting locals in Cambodia who insisted on giving a gift in return, laughing with a Mongolian guide who loved NBA shooters, navigating political conversations abroad, and facing fear during a Moscow airport interrogation. If you care about couple travel, travel storytelling, and the mindset behind meaningful trips, you'll leave with both practical perspective and a bigger heart for the world.Check out their book, Travel Is No Vacation: A Love Story, then subscribe, share this with someone you'd travel with, and leave a review so more people can find The Human Adventure.To learn more about the Cinnamons and their book check out www.travelisnovacation.com.To learn more about me and see clips from past, present, and future shows give me a follow on Instagram @humanadventurepod.Want to be a guest on The Human Adventure?

(Episode 334) Your healing is not happening on the cushion. It's happening in the conversation that triggers you, the phone call that crosses a boundary, the grocery store aisle that floods you with a memory you thought you'd moved past. Sah D'Simone is here to show us what it looks like to bring the work all the way home.Sah D'Simone is a globally recognized spiritual teacher, somatic movement leader, author, and humanitarian whose work weaves Buddhist contemplative practice, trauma-informed movement, and embodied liberation into something I have never quite seen before. In this episode, Sah takes us from the fashion industry to the foothills of the Himalayas, from sitting with the Dalai Lama to sitting with the dying at Cedars-Sinai, and into the heart of why understanding your healing and actually embodying it are two completely different things. We talk about why protecting your peace is a phase and not a destination, what it means to feel a feeling all the way through instead of narrating it, and how 55 minutes of somatic dance can strip the emotional charge from the memories that have been running your life. This one moved me to tears, and I think it will do the same for you.In this episode, we're talking about: (00:00) Discovering Buddhism And The Path To Liberation(16:30) Why Creativity Is Essential For Healing And Self-Expression(24:30) The Difference Between Intellectual Healing And Embodied Healing(28:00) Why Healing Must Be Relational, Not Just Internal Work(36:00) Somatic Healing And How The Body Processes Emotional Trauma(41:40) Trance Dance, Ego Dissolution, And Reconnecting With Your True Self(45:30) How To Release Emotional Charge From Painful MemoriesUse the code SDS50 to get 50% off! https://practice.sahdsimone.com/membershipStay in touch with Sah D'Simone https://practice.sahdsimone.com/https://www.instagram.com/sahdsimoneTake my FREE quiz!What's your intuitive style?

Have you heard about the potency of Shilajit or ORMUS? Most people haven't but these two ancient substances have been used for thousands of years by indigenous communities, royal families and healers across the Himalayas and the Dead Sea. And the science behind why they work is something the modern health world is only beginning to catch up to. David Reid spent five years traveling the Himalayas, Peru, Egypt and the Dead Sea looking for answers. What he found led him to create Manna Vitality, a product built not in a lab but through years of living alongside the people and places that never lost touch with these ancient minerals. In this episode of Habits and Hustle, David breaks down why your body is likely missing the foundational ingredients that make everything else work and what two substances together can actually fix it at the cellular level. The most powerful minerals on earth were never hidden. They were just forgotten. Let's dive in. What's Discussed: How a 5-year global quest led to the creation of Manna Vitality. Why ORMUS alone is not enough and what happens when combined with Shilajit. The reason most supplements never reach the mitochondria and why Manna's does. The difference between 1,000mg of Shilajit vs. 125mg in most gummies. What's between $20 and $2,000 per kilo Shilajit and how to tell them apart. How 600 local tribal workers spend 8 weeks a year harvesting Shilajit above 16,000 feet. How one athlete doubled his testosterone in 3 months taking Manna. Why hydration without minerals is just fluid and how Manna replaces your electrolytes. How to use Manna as a topical treatment for eczema, psoriasis, and as a face mask. Why Manna is not a supplement but an activator of your body's biophotonic electrical system. Thank you to our sponsors! Rho Nutrition: Go to www.RhoNutrition.com and try Rho's Liposomal Glutathione.

I met Sadhvi Saraswati at Mindvalley in Amsterdam this summer and I knew I had to bring her on the podcast. She grew up in Hollywood, went to Stanford, was in the middle of a PhD program and then one moment on the banks of the Ganga in Rishikesh changed everything. She never went back.   Now she is the co-founder of the Ganga Aarti, the largest daily spiritual ritual on the sacred Ganges River, she speaks at the UN about women's rights and spirituality, and she is one of the most grounded and luminous teachers I have ever sat with.   This conversation went everywhere. From what Sanatana Dharma actually is and why it is for all of us, to cultural appropriation, to the very real and very personal question of how do we keep our hearts open to sacred love in a world that feels so hard to love in right now.   In this episode we explore:
