Patti Nesbitt & Kristin Camitta Zimet have co-written a book dealing with end-of-life preparation and issues. The name of the book is A Tender Time, which it beautifully helps us prepare for, with the subtitle, Quaker Voices On the End of Life, created under the care of Baltimore Yearly Meeting. They are Quaker, so the title is accurate, but actually this book is for everyone, with very widely appropriate information, knowledge, & counsel for all people.
Today we follow up to a visit we had 2 months ago with Margaret Brown of Blue Zones, as we drill down into the same work from the local focus on up. True Wellness was formed about a year ago to explore and chart the way for better health, community wide, in Northwest Wisconsin, and Natasha Ward is their executive director. The decision started from a business need for better health coverage and costs, and became a pursuit of a transformed region with longer-lived, healthier citizens.
Peterson Toscano is guest-host today. If you're a regular listener, you know about Peterson's incredible gifts in sharing transformational riches with you. He does a number of podcasts, and so he shares some samples here, with new content as well. Because I'm crazy busy heading out to California for a vital family gathering, I'll just let Peterson explain all of this about capitalism, opportunism, environmentalism, integrity, and such related topics and themes today, along with the full cast of characters - co-host Diana Yañez and guests including Gwyneth Jones, Nina Bentley, Phil McGraw, and Trey McCain.
Michael Todd Fink and his brother founded The Giving Tree Band in 2004 with a powerful vision, including living communally and with strong environmental stewardship. While the music expresses through elements of folk, rock, country, bluegrass, and much more, the lyrics often come from and express deep truths and understandings. So it is no surprise when Todd released his contemplative collection, Losslessness: Reflections on Impermanence, Glimpses of Forever, this past spring.
Greg Greenway is sharing his music today, especially appreciated since I delayed so long in contacting him. I first learned of Greg's work as part of Brother Sun with Joe Jencks and Pat Wictor about 10 years ago. After that, there has been his work with Reggie Harris, who's also been my guest a couple times, with the two of them performing as Deeper Than The Skin. I'm grateful that Greg has been successful in his wrestling with cancer, rising perennial in the face of adversity, so I could finally invite him to join us.
