“Is the life I am living the same as the life that wants to live in me?” This searching question is one that bestselling author, legendary teacher and activist Parker J. Palmer has been exploring for decades. His practice of living this question, resulting in the type of wisdom that can only come from the crucible of one's direct experience. And Parker being the celebrated teacher and leader that he is Has generously offered what he's learned over the years. Making it accessible through his writing, teaching, and speaking.In Let Your Life Speak, now in it's 25th anniversary edition. Parker writes:"We find a path that's right for us by embracing what gives us life and rejecting what diminishes us, listening more closely to the voice of “true self” than to what others expect or demand of us. As we live more deeply into our own identity and integrity, we find both personal fulfillment and our place in the community to which we belong." In today's episode (which we originally recorded in 2022) Parker returns to the show for a beautiful part two conversation, That builds on these themes, and that actually came 3 years after part one.Together we'll explore his reflections on living with an open heart, And the practice of attuning to the wisdom of our inner teacher As we honor the often quiet voice of our soul.For more on Parker, his books, and the incredible work he's done throughout his storied career please visit newcomerpalmer.com or check out the Center for Courage and Renewal at couragerenewal.orgDid you find this episode inspiring?

Growing up as a Palestinian in Israel, Nuseir Yassin grappled with the complexities of his identity, often feeling adrift between two worlds. It wasn't until he reached Harvard University, 5,500 miles away from home, that he encountered his first Jewish friend. Despite his new location, the weight of Nuseir's identity remained palpable, presenting challenges to fitting in that mirrored those faced back in Israel. After graduating from Harvard, Nuseir worked for a startup in New York City. However, he soon realized he was trading years of his life for a paycheck. Motivated by a desire to find purpose in his work, Nuseir left New York for Kenya and staked his future on the internet.In 2016, he launched Nas Daily, a daily vlog featuring one-minute videos showcasing people from around the world. He gained worldwide recognition and skillfully integrated social and political stories into his work.

MESSAGE NOTES: https://www.bible.com/events/49244031RESOURCES: canyonridge.orgDid you know that you live in a spiritual world? In John 3, Jesus shows Nicodemus to see that the world that he lives in is more than just a physical world and that Jesus offers more than what Nicodemus could ever bring to make life complete and whole. Jesus invites you to explore what it means to live in a spiritual world with him through the transformation power that he freely gives when you look in his direction. The question is, do you love the darkness more than light? Choose Jesus and find complete everlasting life with him!

For The New York Times best-selling author, Adeena Sussman, cookbooks aren't just a collection of recipes — they're love letters.At just nine years old, Adeena was tackling complicated recipes in her family's kosher home. Yet, she was more interested in fostering connections than mastering recipes. Adeena relished the shared stories and camaraderie that occurred when family, friends, and guests gathered together for meals. Adeena's early success writing articles for Gourmet Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and Bon Appetit, positioned her to co-author cookbooks with over a dozen high-profile personalities, most notably, Chrissy Teigen. Eventually, Adeena would re-discover her unique voice and create two cookbooks of her own — a journey that led her to Israel where she used food to navigate a new way of life.Have a seat at the table as Gil and Adeena explore the cultural dynamics and personal passions that inspire Adeena's culinary pursuits.More about storymarkTMstorymark is brought to you by itrek studios. itrek is a non-profit that inspires tomorrow's leaders through peer-led, week-long Israel Treks to experience Israel's innovation, diversity and complex reality firsthand.

For Adi Altschuler, “inclusion” and “safe spaces” have been a way of life since childhood. More than performative buzzwords, she embodies both by truly seeing and hearing those who are different.At the age of 16, Adi successfully established Krembo Wings, a social movement for all youth with and without disabilities. The idea blossomed from a beautiful friendship she had with a young boy with cerebral palsy. She would later tackle the Israeli school system, using her skills and connections from her corporate role at Google to create a program that champions inclusivity in the classroom.Join Gil as he discovers the remarkable ways Adi continues to leave a more kind and equitable mark on the world.More about storymarkTMstorymark is brought to you by itrek studios. itrek is a non-profit that inspires tomorrow's leaders through peer-led, week-long Israel Treks to experience Israel's innovation, diversity and complex reality firsthand.

Biophilia is more than plants, light and air, it's also about surrounding ourselves with living beings and our living natural world. If we think about it, E.O.Wilson's seminal book, Biophilia celebrates all aspects of our living planet and is a call for that direct connection with nature. Wilson's book examines our inherent connection to living species, the fascination of life, and how other living societal systems can inform our own. In fact, his lifelong interest in ant colonies emphasises this. Creating those moments of intimacy with nature has a really important place in our modern world where there is a disconnect with getting out there. In this wonderful podcast, we speak with Michael Potts, who has spent more than 30 years as a wildlife cameraman, mostly for the BBC in more than 50 countries worldwide on major series including working alongside David Attenborough filming Life of Birds, The Life of Mammals and many programmes in the Natural World series. We discuss the importance of nature connection, why we need to introduce and educate the next generation, and also how audio-visual connection to nature through our TVs and devices is a positive thing and how we could take this one step further and introduce it into our built environment. “If you see something and understand it, then you care about it, then you might do something to protect it and encourage other people to do the same.” The messaging, inspiration and education you experience through wildlife films inspire people, and footage of birds in flight for instance has a calming effect as well. Michael regales us with tales of animals, where he has filmed birds of paradise in New Guinea, Grizzly bears in Alaska, Termites in Namibia, Caribou migration, Polar Bears and more. He has spent many hours, up close and personal, feeling the heartbeat of a bird as it sits in his hand, feeling the strength of it, studying the intricacies of plumage which adapted to that way of life, their piercing eyes, incisive bills which continue to fascinate him: “every species is so special, they are all so different, so supremely adapted to where they live.” He has also seen so many changes, reduced habitats for farming birds for instance where prairie-style farming is destroying land and habitats. We can do more to improve the habitats of birds and animals, and the built environment, cities, towns and communities can do much to change how we build and design our communities. Biomimicry is one aspect of nature understanding that has a positive impact on our built environment, he mentions filming Termite mounds, huge, 12-15 feet high, made from mud, clay and sand. “They have incredible internal temperature control systems. It is +40 centigrade during the day, but to near freezing at night, but with a system of chambers and ducts, the termites maintain constant temperatures inside the mound to within 2 degrees.” This was for a study by Loughborough University which were using the knowledge garnered from the filming to use the design as an example for cooling systems in modern buildings. Nature provides us with so many answers, if we have eyes to see. Michael has a fascinating book out “Untangling the Knot, Belugas and Bears: My Natural World on Film” which you can buy directly from all good booksellers, and also directly through Michael, contact him via his website:http://michaelpottsphotography.comHe will also be at The Global Bird Fair in July 2023 https://globalbirdfair.orgDid you know our NEW printed and eBook journal is out now https://journalofbiophilicdesign.com/journal-of-biophilic-design-1 Please register for our newsletter https://mailchi.mp/4001fc945c4f/untitled-page and view previous podcasts with images here too: https://journalofbiophilicdesign.com/podcasts-journal-of-biophilic-design.Credits: with thanks to George Harvey Audio Production for the calming biophilic soundscape that backs all our podcasts.

In an environment defined by physical strength and hyper-masculinity, Miri Eisin deployed a leadership style which pushed gender boundaries and expectations. Often the only woman in the male dominated IDF upper ranks, Miri constantly considered when and how to integrate her femininity into the job. From whether or not to wear make up, to the tone of her voice, every decision she made was intentional.Miri's impressive climb to the top, like most ascensions, was not without struggle and Gil discovers how she combated those obstacles to rise to such positions as the Prime Minister- appointed position of foreign media advisor. Miri ultimately learned that being a woman in her field was both an advantage, and an identity which made her inherently vulnerable — wisdom she now imparts to her daughters and women who have come up after her in the military and the workforce.More about storymarkstorymark is brought to you by itrek studios. itrek is a non-profit that inspires tomorrow's leaders through peer-led, week-long treks in Israel to experience its innovation, diversity and complex reality firsthand.

What is a country — even a new one, without a guiding set of rules and beliefs? Legal scholar and former politician Uriel Reichman believed Israel's constitution was overdue. He spent six years bringing the country's first constitution into existence.Reichman applied that same tenacity to education where he went on to found the country's first non-profit, private University which would eventually bear his name — Reichman University (formerly IDC Herzliya). Empowerment through education has always motivated Reichman, even during times of unbearable grief. He tells Gil about the moment he had to choose between continuing his doctorate in Chicago, or remaining with his grieving family following the loss of his brother during the Yom Kippur War.
