For more visit Project Mindfully Outdoors Podcast Episode Title: Navigating Grief in the Great OutdoorsHost: Mike Martin [INTRO MUSIC FADES] Mike:Welcome back to Project Mindfully Outdoors. I'm your host, Mike Martin, and today we're diving into a topic that's hard for many but oh-so-important—working with grief. Whether it's the loss of a loved one, the end of a significant chapter in our lives, or even loss of a dream, grief can be heavy. But today, we'll explore how nature can provide a comforting backdrop to help us process these emotions. [PAUSE FOR A MOMENT OF REFLECTION] Mike:When we think of grief, we often picture isolation—those deep, cavernous feelings that can make our world feel small, dark, and heavy. But nature, with its vastness and beauty, holds the capacity to help us navigate these emotional waters. Let's start by recognizing that grief is not a linear journey. It ebbs and flows—much like the tide. With that in mind, I invite you to take a moment and consider this: when you experience heavy emotions, where do you feel drawn? A park? The mountains? The beach? Being outside not only provides a change of scenery, but it also entwines us with life's natural rhythms—something that can feel grounding in times of turbulence. Here's a practical approach you might find helpful: take a mindful walk. As you step outside, focus on your breathing. Let your pace match the rhythm of your thoughts. Almost like a meditation in motion, this can help create a space within you to reflect on your feelings as you move through the world around you. [SOFT MUSIC INTERLUDE] Mike:Let me share a personal story. Last year, after losing my grandmother, I found myself lost. I recall walking in the woods near my home, struggling to make sense of it all. It was then that I decided to leave the trail and venture off into a clearing. Surrounded by greenery, tall trees, and the gentle rustling of leaves, I paused. I allowed my tears to flow freely. Nature embraced my pain, reminding me that loss is a part of life's cycle—a cycle that trees, flowers, and rivers understand so well. One of the most healing things we can do in nature is to take time to connect. This could mean journaling about our loss, letting old memories surface as we walk, or even talking to a trusted friend under the open sky. Sometimes facing the rawness of our situation can feel daunting, and that's okay. Just remember, we don't have to go through this alone. [SHORT PAUSE] Mike:Additionally, consider creative outlets that nature inspires. Sketching a favorite landscape, photographing a vibrant sunset, or simply collecting special rocks can be powerful ways to channel grief into something meaningful. These acts can transform pain into art and provide a tangible expression of what you're carrying inside. As we wrap up today's episode, remember this: you are allowed to grieve. Nature is here to support you, with open arms, waiting for you to step outside and reconnect. Embrace the healing that the great outdoors offers and let yourself be surrounded by that natural comfort. Thank you for joining me on this episode of Project Mindfully Outdoors. If you felt a connection to today's discussion, please share it with others who might benefit. Until next time, take care of yourself and honor your journey. Remember, you're not alone in this.

A place where all the world's troubles or the typical challenges I was having as a teenager would disappear and I would spend a couple of hours focused on painting. My mom had recognized early on that I was pretty handy with a pencil and very interested in creative expression. She did her very best to make sure that I was continually engaged in creative processes whether it was doing Ukrainian Easter eggs or sketching and drawing or baking creative Christmas cookies.She was always there pushing the go button on creativity. As it turns out, she was actually a pretty good artist herself and later in her life she began doing decorative painting which she became exceptionally adept at and the house was full of wonderful pieces of her craftsmanship.My interest in art followed me through the first few years of high school and finally landing in a place where it was just time to decide where I was going to university and to which program I would go.My mom, recognized that I was firmly sitting on either side of the creative and scientific fence, 1 foot firmly in both worlds, and she suggested architecture since it seemed to combine both of my interests.While I was studying to be an architect I took every single drawing and painting course that I could possibly take, whether they were weekly freehand drawing studios or evening classes or sketching schools.These courses during my university years were a safe place there I had more confidence than in doing pretty much anything else.But it really wasn't until those years in university under the tutelage of a great art teacher Gerry Tondino that I really began to understand drawing and painting.It wasn't so much that I was learning technical aspects of drawing or painting but that I was more learning how to see rather than simply look at things.Gerry would say, ‘once you learn to see and draw what you actually se, rather than what ou think you see, the drawing takes care of itself.'I had deep respect for Gerry Tondino and I think I really finally learned how to deeply appreciate the world around me to see the color, texture and value relationships. To understand how objects exist within a context and it wasn't specifically the thing you   looking at but everything around it that helped to define its edge.In college I would continue to take afterschool watercolor courses thinking that it was more convenient than painting in oils since there was a technical challenge of oil painting taking much longer to dry.There was something about the immediacy of watercolor that I liked. You had to think fast and plan. Watercolor was the process of painting in the shade and shadows leaving the white of the paper as the light and highlights. In oils, or now acrylic which I use almost exclusively, you are starting from the dark tones and building in layers to bring out the light.In watercolor there was equally some unpredictability and a learned skill of being able to get certain effects like running a clean wash of graduated blue for a sky over a background or how some pigments we opaque and others transparent, or how colors would interact with each other as water spread across the paper.I was taking workshops once and the teacher said to me “well it's clear you can draw and you've got, you know, a good hand, but I guess the question really is what do you want to say with the work that you create”That was a whole different way of thinking that I'd never really spend time with prior to that moment. I painted and drew simply because it was fun.What did I want to say?...And so I began to think pretty significantly about what message I wanted to convey or rather what stories the things that I drew or painted I might want to share with other people.It was interesting when I began to study architecture and think about design of places and things that I was drawn to the same question about what the architecture meant and what stories it would hold over the years that people would use it.I was always fascinated with traveling and standing within old buildings and wondering what the people wore when they were visiting here hundreds of years ago.What would they talk about. What was the news of the day or the politics what secrets were being not told as people visited and who came and went from within a building's walls.As I moved along my career, thinking about the stories that buildings would hold, it's perhaps not surprising that I somehow serendipitously end up in the world of brand experience place making,that the places that I would create for retailers would be imbued with a brand narrative and that somehow the buildings, stores or hotels would need to be able to demonstrate that subplot about who the intended user was, what their story was and how the place was a physical expression of both the person and the brand.Another experience while an architecture school was with a visiting professor and while I don't remember the exact project we were working on, I do remember her saying a phrase including the word “hodological”Hodological refers to the study of pathways or connections. It's used in fields of neuroscience sometimes thinking about the pathway and connections between neurons and synapses how signals move from one place to the other how information is shared across brain functional areas – In psychology it talks about things like paths in a person's life space and in the world of philosophy it might be considered to take in things like the interconnection between ideas a pathway between thought exercises and where one thought leads to another and what conclusions we might draw from that that decision making treein terms of geography it's really is about actual paths, walking paths for example, connection paths between geographic locations thing like trade route pathsThe interesting thing about the word hodological is not just that all these years later I clearly recall that word but that it also seemed to me that the idea of ‘transition' - moving from one place to the other - was very much a part of experience - that we don't stand still in buildings or public squares or on streets, we move and as we move, we naturally have a different experience at every moment.Sure, there's a gestalt experience of being in Times Square for example but every time we take a step our perspectival view of the context around us ends up changing and every moment technically speaking is also new,We're are clearly taking in some constants in sensory input but our point of view within that context ends up changing.I love this idea of walking through space and experiencing it differently with every step. Every step is a different vantage point to learn something new to see something from a different angle. In a broader sense, my fascination with the nature of change totally aligns with the idea the early -learned term – hodological.Pathways of change. Change through experience or experience through change. We may think that buildings don't change, but they do, albeit in some cases slowly. And over their lifetime they may be experienced be multitudes each one leaving and taking away a story.Transitions are important. I might suggest that all the good stuff happens in the in betweenness of moments in time, places and things. Transitions are where learning lives.Transitions become important as experience makers. So, things like stairs become fascinating places for architectural study. It's not surprising that many of the great architects also spend time designing stairways so that transitions between floors were less about a practical matter of moving your body up to a different level, but could be seen as an opportunity to experience new things along the way. An experiential moment that requires the person's commitment, to willingly give them self over to the idea of change. Cities have memories and our bodies have memories of cities. Buildings have memories and our bodies have memories of buildings.I have expressed before that I believe that there's very much a ‘give and make' of experience - that we interact and share with the built environment around us and it affects us as well. We and the environments we spend time in are deeply connected and our experience lives within us, within our bodies, not just within our heads. Our experience of building leaves within us a body memory, a narrative residue of how we felt while in one place or another.If you look at buildings overtime and understand that they've been used for years, they too have held countless numbers of stories of people that used them. Where they came from. Where they would go back to. Maybe they were transitioning through for a moment. Maybe they were lost and ended up taking a wrong turn and discovering something new.Those stories of buildings are interesting because it gives a life to architecture beyond stone, steel and glass. And this is where my guest Charles Leon comes into the story. Charles is a writer and illustrator of Sketch Journals, including The Kew Sketch Journal. He is an international speaker and trainer on the Creative Process and how Applied Innovation actually works. With more than 30 years experience in design, and an extensive knowledge of neuroscience and the working of the creative mind, Charles brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to helping organizations and individuals overcome Innovation Stagnation to achieve Creative Breakthrough.During the COVID pandemic Charles had a challenge simply staying inside while all of us were held up in our homes for months. With sketchb  ook in hand, Charles saw London England as a hodological space – one to be experiences not in the scientific, objective and measurable sense of streets of a certain distance ad width, buildings of a certain height, pathways connecting purpose driven users or as seen from a 3d person sense but more in the Jean-Paul Satre sense aptly described in Satre's essay, "Sketch for a Theory of Emotions," where his city was to be experienced in a lived-existential subjective sense. One in which he would travel daily, which sketchbook in hand, not always sure about the destination but certain that the path would be one of discovery, connection, and collecting through drawing and painting the memories of the buildings he encountered along the way.The output of these wanderings yielded 5 volumes in drawings and paintings of learnings about the buildings, their architectural details as well as the stories they revealed from within their walls…                 *                                  *                                  *ABOUT DAVID KEPRON:LinkedIn Profile: linkedin.com/in/david-kepron-9a1582bWebsites:  https://www.davidkepron.com    (personal website)vmsd.com/taxonomy/term/8645  (Blog)Email: david.kepron@NXTLVLexperiencedesign.comPersonal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidkepron/NXTLVL Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nxtlvl_experience_design/Bio:David Kepron is a multifaceted creative professional with a deep curiosity to understand ‘why', ‘what's now' and ‘what's next'.

Grandpa Bill's Grunts & Groans Grandpa Bill brings memory palaces and mnemonics to life on his YouTube channel! Visual learners, rejoice! We use diagrams, animations, and real-world examples to demonstrate how these powerful techniques work. Learn how to create your own memory palaces, memorize anything with ease, and boost your cognitive abilities. Grandpa Bill Asks: 1: What's your preferred way to learn – visual, auditory, or kinesthetic? 2: What's the one subject or skill you'd love to master with a supercharged memory? Let's break down how to create and record the "J" memory palace for Janissary, focusing on the practical aspects of drawing it out. The "J" Memory Palace: Javelin & Hagia Sophia The Location: Hagia Sophia, Istanbul. This is your mental "room" or location within your larger "Janissary" palace. The Object: A giant, gleaming javelin. It's not just any javelin; it's oversized, perhaps made of gold, and emits a shimmering light. The Action: The javelin is piercing the Hagia Sophia's dome. This is the dynamic element that makes the image memorable. The dome is cracking, perhaps bits of tile are falling. Drawing it Out (Memory Journal/Index Card):GB explains within this video 1: Detailed Sketch (Memory Journal):GB explains in the video On a page in your/my journal, lightly sketch the Hagia Sophia's exterior, focusing on the dome. Draw the giant javelin piercing the dome. Exaggerate the size and make it shine (use colored pencils if you like). Add details: Cracks in the dome, falling debris. Label: "J - Javelin & Hagia Sophia" 2: Simplified Sketch (Index Card):GB explains On you/my index card, draw a simplified version of the Hagia Sophia dome. Draw a large, stylized "J" that transforms into the javelin. The point of the "J" could be piercing the dome. Add a few quick lines to indicate the cracks. Label: "J - Javelin (Hagia Sophia)" 3: Symbolic Drawing (Index Card): Draw a large "J." Inside the curve of the "J," draw a small, symbolic representation of the Hagia Sophia (maybe just a dome shape). Draw a line extending from the "J" as the javelin piercing the dome. Label: "J - Javelin" Key Highlights of Drawing: Keep it Simple: You don't need to be an artist. Stick figures and basic shapes are fine. The goal is to create a visual trigger for your memory, not a masterpiece. Exaggerate: Make the key elements (the javelin) larger than life. This makes them more memorable. Add Color: Color helps make the image more vivid. Personal Touches: If you have a personal connection to javelins or the Hagia Sophia, incorporate that into your drawing. Consistency: Use the same style of drawing for all your memory palaces. This will help you quickly access them later. Review: After drawing, review the image a few times to solidify it in your memory. Try to recall the image without looking at your drawing.

Frances Fox dives right in with revelations about her psychic spying background, mind-bending interspecies communication abilities, and a bold vision for the U.S. elections. With the "Mantrista Movement" behind her, she's using powerful mantras to channel stability and ground the chaotic energy swirling around the election. Sketching a “map of intention,” she shares visuals of joy and clarity replacing darkness at the heart of the nation, aiming to manifest fair and unmistakable results. Frances doesn't hold back on her personal history either: as a survivor of mind control and psychic exploitation, she's planning an “invoice” to the government for years of untold suffering. With compelling insights on spiritual warfare, shadow forces, and the coming age of revelation, she's all-in on creating healing from the cosmic chaos.
