It is my pleasure to share this discussion I had with Micah Mortali, MA. Micah is the author of Rewilding: Meditations, Practices and Skills for Awakening in Nature, published by Sounds True. His life’s work is reconnecting modern people with the restorative powers of nature through mindfulness in the great outdoors. Micah is the founder of the groundbreaking Kripalu School of Mindful Outdoor Leadership at the renowned Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health. Micah is also a 500-hour Kripalu Yoga Teacher, a Level 2 Mindful Outdoor Guide and is wilderness first aid certified. He has studied with Tom Brown Jr. at the legendary Tracker School in the Pine Barrens of New Jersey, and holds a Master’s Degree in Health Arts and Sciences from Goddard College. Micah leads trainings, corporate events, wilderness retreats and seminars on rewilding and mindful outdoor leadership at Kripalu and across New England. He lives in the Berkshire hills of Western Massachusetts with his family. In this episode, we talk about so many pertinent topics, from nature deficit disorder to how to really appreciate (and get out during) the winter, plus a really special way we can dive into a deeper relationship with the area right around us (especially useful during quarantine times). This is a must-listen and inspiriting talk for us all.
