— It's been a chaotic day.  There are angry customers at work.  Your daughter misbehaved at school, and you need to talk to the principal.  The car won't start.  That sort of day. Stop.  Control.  Reset.  Take ten deep breaths.  Sing.  Listen to soothing music.  Walk into a garden and watch the birds. The human brain is an efficient, pragmatic, functional engine, of unfathomable complexity -- with the ability to invent, remember, project, and see relationships among people and ideas. I love my brain.  I wouldn't even go to the mailbox without it.  My brain has allowed me to function and prosper in this uber-complex modern world. But all too often our brains run amok and drive us crazy. To retain sanity, we must not let our think-too-much-know-it-all-brains overtake the castle.  In this podcast we will explore both our human and our animal consciousness and seek to understand why it is so vital to reach deep inside and listen to the Nature-Self within. Valeria Teles interviews him — Jon Turk — the author of “Tracking Lions, Myth, and Wilderness in Samburu , The Raven's Gift: A Scientist, a Shaman, and Their Remarkable Journey Through the Siberian Wilderness  — among other titles.

— Over the long-term history of humanity, there have been four cognitive revolutions which jumpstarted our human evolution and success. About 70,000 years ago, primitive, stone-age Homo sapiens were beset by climate change and unable to compete successfully on the harsh African savanna.  They almost became extinct. Then our big-brained ancestors discovered art and ceremony, and presumably dance, music, and song.  And these puny two-legged creatures thrived and proliferated. It is essential to understand that it was art, not sophisticated tools and weaponry, that was the driving force behind the first cognitive revolution: the Consciousness Revolution. Moving forward through history, we fostered the Agricultural, the Industrial, and the Computer Revolutions. But, today, storm clouds rise on the horizon again. Climate change threatens, and we as a species, beset by anger, division, and frustration.  Yes, we have the most marvelous technology imaginable.  But that is not sufficient.  We need a second Conscious Revolution – based on positive thinking, love, cooperation, dance, music, and art – to provide us with the human power to endure and prosper. – Writes Jon Turk   Valeria Teles interviews him — Jon Turk — the author of “Tracking Lions, Myth, and Wilderness in Samburu , The Raven's Gift: A Scientist, a Shaman, and Their Remarkable Journey Through the Siberian Wilderness  — among other titles.   Jon Turk earned a Ph.D. in organic chemistry in 1971 and was nominated by National Geographic as one of the Top Ten Adventurers of the Year in 2012.  Between these bookends, Jon co-authored the first college level environmental science textbook in North America, followed by 30 additional texts in environmental, physical, and earth sciences.  At the same time, he kayaked around Cape Horn and across the North Pacific from Japan to Alaska, mountain biked across the northern Gobi in Mongolia, and made numerous first ski descents and first rock climbing ascents around the globe.  During extended travel in northeast Siberia, Jon's worldview was altered by Moolynaut, a Siberian shaman, and his later books reflect these spiritual journeys.   Jon has published four trade books:  Cold Oceans (HarperCollins), In the Wake of the Jomon (McGraw Hill), The Raven's Gift (St Martin's Press) and Crocodiles and Ice (Oolichan Press).

Wherein we are joined by Ben's uncle, Jon Turk, to talk about his new book. While tracking a lion with a Samburu headman and then, later, eluding human assailants who may be tracking him, Jon Turk experiences people at their best and worst. As the tracker and the tracked, Jon reveals how the stories we tell each other, and the stories spinning in our heads, can be moulded into innovation, love and co-operation — or harnessed to launch armies. Seeking escape from the confusion we create for ourselves and our neighbors with our think-too-much-know-it-all brains, Jon finds liberation within a natural world that spins no fiction.Set in a high-adventure narrative on the unforgiving savannah, Tracking Lions, Myth, and Wilderness in Samburu explores the aboriginal wisdoms that endowed our Stone Age ancestors with the power to survive – and how, since then, myth, art, music, dance, and ceremony have often been hijacked and distorted within our urban, scientific, oil-soaked world.

Jon Turk is easily one of North America's most accomplished adventurers. Jon has kayaked around Cape Horn and across the North Pacific from Japan to Alaska. He's mountain biked across the northern Gobi in Mongolia, made first climbing ascents of big walls on Baffin Island and in 2011 circumnavigated Ellesmere Island. He's no stranger to adventure and lucky for us, he likes to write about his adventures. Especially lucky for us, he sat down with us to chat about his new book Tracking Lions, Myth, and Wilderness in Samburu! Buy the book here

Jon Turk has been an adventure writer over the last 6 decades. His new book will be featured at the Banff Mountain Book Festival and it's available from Rocky Mountain Books. The new book is called "Tracking Lions: Myth, and Wilderness in Samburu." Books Reviewer, Angie Abdou, sat down with Russell to discuss it.

Jon Turk earned a Ph.D. in organic chemistry in 1971 and was nominated by National Geographic as one of the Top Ten Adventurers of the Year in 2012. Between these bookends, he co-authored the first college level environmental science textbook in North America, followed by 35 additional texts.

Jon Turk returns to Salish Wolf for another episode, this one on his new book Tracking Lions, Myth and Wilderness in Samburu. In this discussion, and in his book, Jon demonstrates how myth has shaped humanity, catalyzing the formation of tribes, creating power dynamics, and eroding the concepts of unity. Today, the world over, humans are immersed in myth-based societies where narratives are sparked by both well-intentioned and perverse igniters, fueled by our digitally-connected global ecosystem, and often fanned by fear. While on a lion tracking expedition in Kenya, Jon experienced firsthand the power of tribal lore and the wild narratives that we run through our heads. While literally on the trail of a nearby lion and armed only with a wooden club, Jon filled first with anger, then surrender, and finally peace. We explore many topics in this conversation, including the imminent danger Jon was constantly in due to warring tribes and corrupt officials, cultural myths that have shaped history, and the dividing factions of present-day narratives related to topics such as climate change and covid. Although myth has historically caused great division, including religious wars and ‘us against them' attitudes, Jon and I demonstrate that two people do not have to share the same beliefs to have mutual respect and an admiration for that which connects us. Healthy debate has been the source of great transformation and intellectual advancement, yet today we run the risk of possibly irreparable divisions as cancel culture eliminates even the most basic human decencies. Yet there is another way forward, and love is at the heart of it. Please enjoy this episode of Salish Wolf with Jon Turk.

— “Travelling through life alone means that you have enough faith and trust in yourself, so you don't need to follow the stories that others put in your head. Because those stories will almost certainly benefit the storytellers, but they probably won't benefit you, or society, or the planet. We can know and trust ourselves well enough not to journey too far into imaginary worlds. We don't need to listen to stories someone tells us or stories we tell ourselves. We don't need to follow mass movements. There are too many pitfalls along that pathway. Presence in the NOW is sufficient. Presence in the Real World is sufficient.” Valeria Teles interviews Jon Turk — the author of “Tracking Lions, Myth, and Wilderness in Samburu.”  Jon Turk earned a Ph.D. in organic chemistry in 1971 and was nominated by National Geographic as one of the Top Ten Adventurers of the Year in 2012.  Between these bookends, Jon co-authored the first college level environmental science textbook in North America, followed by 30 additional texts in environmental, physical, and earth sciences.  At the same time, he kayaked around Cape Horn and across the North Pacific from Japan to Alaska, mountain biked across the northern Gobi in Mongolia, and made numerous first ski descents and first rock climbing ascents around the globe.  During extended travel in northeast Siberia, Jon's worldview was altered by Moolynaut, a Siberian shaman, and his later books reflect these spiritual journeys.   Jon has published four trade books:  Cold Oceans (HarperCollins), In the Wake of the Jomon (McGraw Hill), The Raven's Gift (St Martin's Press) and Crocodiles and Ice (Oolichan Press).  His newest project, Tracking Lions, Myth, and Wilderness in Samburu (To be published by Rocky Mountain Books in September 2021) delves more deeply into a “mind-body-spirit” theme, supported by adventure storytelling, integrated with an anthropological view of the role of art and mythology in human development.

In this episode, we feature Dr. Jon Turk, a scientist, author, and National Geographic award-winning explorer. Jon has kayaked the North Pacific from Japan to Alaska, lived among the grizzly bears in Kamchatka, and made many first ski descents and first rock climbing ascents around the globe. Jon's most recent travels took him to northeast Kenya, where he lived among the Samburu people during a time where the threat of state-sponsored violence loomed overhead. This trip is the subject of his forthcoming book, “Tracking Lions, Myth, and Wilderness in Samburu.”In our conversation, he takes us to the cradle of humanity's beginnings as we discuss the anthropological origins of myth and how storytelling played an integral role in saving us from the brink of early human extinction. We also explore the dark side of our big brain and how narratives can steer societies toward violence, disaster, and decline. Tune in to learn how the wisdom of our ancestors can help us simplify the unnecessary complexity we create in our lives. ====================0:00 Intro2:55 Why Jon went to Kenya to help track lions4:25 Who are the Samburu and how do they live?9:00 How the Samburu view the stages of male development  13:25 Jon's experience with the threat of violence in Africa18:28 Why is there evil in the world?21:13 According to the fossil record art preceded sophisticated tools 24:25 Evolution can't anticipate the future 26:32 Symbolic art is the creation of a story 27:40 Yuval Noah Harari's thoughts on stories and tribalism 30:43 Will we turn things around in time?33:21 What gives us the power to see truth?37:04 Flow state quiets our internal state 39:00 Jon's five years in a small Siberian village42:15 How do we see ourselves in our stories?43:31 The psychology of encouraging people to reduce their carbon footprint   52:00 The luxury of free, fair, and non-violent elections 54:29 What can save us?58:31 Is Jon done journeying overseas?59:55 “One Final Question”====================Buy the book!

Jon Turk has lived an incredible life filled with enough adventures to incapacitate most, and enough hardship to extinguish the wildest passion. But Jon is no ordinary individual; he is an extraordinary human that even today, at 75-years-old, continues to live life on his terms and at the edge that only he defines. Fifty years ago, Jon earned a Ph.D. in organic chemistry, wrote the first environmental science textbook in the United States, and began wandering the globe. He has since written more than 30 textbooks and has completed some of the most grueling expeditions, including kayaking across the North Pacific, circumnavigating Ellesmere Island, mountain biking through the Gobi Desert, and world's first climbing ascents and skiing descents. He has gained much wisdom along the way, including awareness of living in the moment, never closing his heart to love, and always reaching out to catch the magic of life. Jon and I have a profound conversation that takes us deep into his experiences with Siberian spirituality and shamanism, which he so beautifully recounts in his book The Raven's Gift; explores the life-altering impacts of avalanches; and follows the punishing and magical courses of many of his expeditions. There is not a dull moment in this episode, nor superfluous advice. If you are interested in defining the terms by which you live your life and finding contentment and purpose in each moment, you will not be disappointed in this episode of Salish Wolf with Jon Turk.

In the 21st century world, people make the mistake of not wanting to be vulnerable, and they miss out on so much. How do we overcome this and get the most value out of life? What is the ecstasy of a sore toe? How do you keep your skeletal system balanced? On this episode, Jon Turk shares his amazing life story and talks about how he stays in flow. You can compensate for than nanosecond loss of reaction time, with this long term mental space. -Jon Turk Takeaways You have to go inside yourself and find out where your power is and follow that power. Once you open your spirit to vulnerability, flow starts. Too often sports will stress a set of muscles, and not the counter opposing set so you throw your skeletal system out of balance. At the start of the show, Jon shared his life story, how he stays in shape and what he eats to stay energized. He also talked about how to follow and find your power, and how to connect with the tundra. We also talked about the importance of vulnerability, and why so many people miss out on it. Towards the end of the show, we talked about how to get through barriers. Jon also shared insights on; - His time in Siberia - The ecstasy of a sore toe - The reciprocal relationship we have with nature You have to draw your power from everywhere, not just physical or emotional. If you want to realize and effectualize your power to reach your optimal performance, you have to go in and find out the different parts of you and integrate them. You have to combine everything, and when you combine everything into a whole it’s completely glorious. Flow is being the moment and accepting everything that happens. As long as you can find yourself and not react emotionally, you’re going to be able to go through life and see it for what it really is vs. how we’re programmed to see it. Guest Bio Jon received his Ph.D. in chemistry in 1971 and worked in theoretical research and then in environmental education. Following internal callings, Jon gradually abandoned academics to engage in extreme adventures all over the world. His two-year voyage around the North Pacific Rim was named by Paddler Magazine as one of the ten greatest sea kayaking expeditions of all times. His circumnavigation of Ellesmere with Erik Boomer was nominated in 2012 by National Geographic as one of the world’s “Top Ten Adventures of the Year” and was also awarded “Expedition of the Year” by Canoe and Kayak Magazine. Jon’s world-view was transformed through his five year friendship with Moolynaut, a 100 year old Siberian shaman. This physical and mental adventure is chronicled in “The Raven’s Gift”. Jon’s newest book, “Crocodiles and Ice: A Journey into Deep Wild” represents a continuing exploration of a Consciousness Revolution based on a deep, reciprocal communication with the Earth.

Barry Blanchard has known fear. The legendary big wall climber is the author of the new book, The Calling: A Life Rocked By Mountains. He talks to Jon Turk about a bad day on the world's highest vertical-distance wall climb: the Rupal Face of Nanga Parbat, an escarpment that rises at an average of 50 degrees for more than three miles. If you've never braced against an avalanche for fully 27 minutes amidst 70 mile per hour winds and three-foot an hour snowfall, if you've never dropped your ropes 10,000 feet because of miscommunication with your climbing partner, we have a whole new definition of fear for you. Oh, and there's no air up there either. 

Wherein Jon explains a bit about his background--being a classmate of George W. Bush at Andover, telling his mother he wanted to be an orthodontist. and then becoming an expedition sea kayaker instead--and wherein he answers questions from Episode #1: What is this podcast all about? How did you come to get covered stuck to the sheets with dried blood in the hotel if the crocodile didn't eat you? And what did you see when you paddled up the river for dinner with the spiritual descendant of the crocodiles? And, of course, we learn about what happens when waves break in open ocean and you're in a sit-on-top kayak and a little about the similitaries and differences between children and chickens.

An interview with writer and explorer Jon Turk Many of us put a lot on the line for the sake of adventure. And for writer and scientist Jon Turk the decision to paddle a kayak across the Pacific Ocean from Asia to North American was in keeping with a tradition of discovery as old as humanity itself. “You look for an audacious and bold plan that's still feasible,” Turk said. “You look to be vulnerable and at the same time secure. And at that time, which was about 10 years ago now nobody had successfully crossed the Pacific Ocean in a standard production off the shelf-kayak.”   Turk had a dream to paddle more than 3,000 miles across a vast ocean. But he would later realize that he was actually tracing a migratory route he believes was followed by ancient humans thousands of years ago. And it kind of makes you wonder why anyone today or way back when would ever to do such a thing.   “We all agree that migration is difficult,” Turk said. “It's difficult to get into a canoe, to leave your homeland with deer in the forest, seals in the bay, with salmon in the streams and paddle three thousand miles across the arctic in the middle of the ice ages.” If it's so difficult again the question then as it is today is why? The anthropologist will tell you that because we are a pragmatic people the only reason why we would do something that difficult, paddle 3,000 miles across the ocean, is if we are force out of our homeland by warfare or starvation or lured into more productive hunting grounds by a more productive place. In other words it was beaten up, famished people who had just lost a war escaping for their lives. But Jon Turk doesn't believe that. “I don't believe that on two grounds,” he said. “First of all it's such a hard trip that if you started out beaten up weakened, famished loosing most of your warriors in a battle you're going to die. Second of all I think the hardest and most audacious journeys are following dreams, not pragmatic reasons. Pragmatism will get you so far. But the dream will get you farther.”   So following his dream Jon Turk ventured out across the ocean and along the way he discovered a few interesting ideas about the very nature of adventure. And his book, The Raven's Gift he explores the power of risk and vulnerability as a way for travelers to experience magic.
