I had a chance to be part of a creative return to earth based wisdom in Judaism last week. Wilderness Torah, who’s mission is to Awaken and celebrate the earth-based traditions of Judaism to nourish the connections between self, community, earth, and Spirit, invited me to consult as a Cultural Mentor. The process of Culture Repair requires two key elements: the first being a return to Deep Nature Connection at all levels of culture and the second being Depth Mentoring. Depth Mentoring is a dedicated role that pulls the learner into new learning edges over and over again, deepening relationships to all manner of creation.

Here is a talk I gave about my journey to becoming a Depth Mentor in Culture Repair and the essential elements of Deep Nature Connection and Deep Cultural Elements (Tree Trunk !)

This is the second part of the Community Address

“Now here’s a sad song for ya, it brings a tear to me glass eye”  quips Uncle Gerry, “It’s so sad even the cross-eyed had tears runnin’ down the back o’ their necks…” Gerry Brady is a trick a minute.  “I’m the only leprechaun in captivity” . There’s a lot to be said about the [...]
