The process of uncovering happiness really is about seeing what's showing up and being authentic in that experience, no matter what it is, whether it's a difficulty, a challenge in the environment that I think we're all living in, with coronavirus and political divisiveness and all this stuff in America.
Imagine trading the chaos of everyday life for the tranquility of nature. In this episode of the Sobertown Podcast, hosts Kera and Bill W sit down with Tim, a backcountry field guide and self-proclaimed spiritual warrior, to talk about the transformative power of wilderness therapy. Their conversation is a heartfelt dive into how being outdoors can foster emotional growth and spiritual awakening. Tim shares his own journey, detailing how wilderness therapy has helped him develop emotionally and spiritually.
He talks about the unique benefits of spending time in nature, from the epigenetic effects of being outdoors to the value of shedding external distractions. It's not just about hiking; it's about experiencing life in a raw, authentic way that fosters true happiness. Kera and Bill W, who transitioned from friends to romantic partners while overcoming their own addictions, bring a unique perspective to the discussion. They highlight the importance of authenticity and connectedness in recovery.
Their own journey across the country, helping adults in recovery find happiness, adds depth to their conversation with Tim. The episode also touches on lesser-known issues like post-hike depression and the lack of resources available for those who experience it. Tim emphasizes the importance of outdoor play and mindful entertainment as tools for cultivating joy and personal transformation.
As the discussion wraps up, Tim reflects on his dissertation on spiritually transformative experiences in wilderness therapy, sharing insights that are both profound and practical. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in how nature can be a powerful ally in the journey to sobriety and happiness.
