Flying is an extreme sport and it not only requires a lot of energy to perform the skills, but it takes me into a sort of vibration or state of being that is very intense, very consuming and very extreme, at the risk of another flying pun.
Ever wondered what it's like to race through the sky? In this episode of 'Brothers and Teachers', Bowen Dwelle chats with Galen Kirkpatrick, a professional paraglider pilot and the 2022 FAI Women’s Pan-American Paragliding Champion. Galen takes us on a journey through the exhilarating world of sky racing, where pilots navigate courses in the shortest time possible—all while suspended in mid-air. It's a sport that’s as thrilling as it is challenging, and Galen's passion for it is palpable.
But paragliding is more than just a sport for Galen; it's a form of self-expression and a way to confront personal fears. Bowen and Galen dive into the psychological aspects of paragliding, discussing how it helps overcome fear and build confidence. They also touch on broader themes like masculinity, gender, and community within the paragliding world, offering a nuanced perspective on what it means to belong in such a unique sport. Galen’s story is one of courage and resilience.
From her early days of flying to becoming a champion, she shares insights that are both inspiring and relatable. Her reflections on gender dynamics in paragliding add another layer of depth to the conversation, making it not just about the sport but about personal growth and community. Whether you're an adrenaline junkie or someone looking for inspiration to chase your own passions, this episode offers something for everyone.
Galen's experiences remind us that pursuing what we love can lead to profound personal transformation. So, if you're curious about the skies or just need a dose of motivation, tune in and let Galen's story elevate your spirit.
