Episode 154 - The Gift of Magical Encounters with Animals with John Stokes
01:05:56 Share

It's not uncommon for nature educators to have experiences that defy easy explanations, like the appearance of birds, deer, squirrels or mice in one of our forays into the wild with students.  The presence of humans who are quiet and respectful seems to attract wild creatures sometimes, leading to connections that have a powerful impact on our lives.

John and I talk about the importance of program names, the influence and visions of native elders and how mentoring changes lives.
