Weekly Flow #24 - June 16, 2023

Dear, friends

Welcome to my weekly flow of news, events, insightful perspectives, and impactful stories aimed at creating positive change in your life and the lives you touch, at home and on the road.

My curious mind, intuitive soul, and big heart, along with some personal connections and crushes on extraordinary humans have put me in a position to receive an abundance of practical information, exciting innovation, and profound wisdom, usually travel-related, that has flowed to me, and now, on to you. Before you scan, take a breath, tune in, open up to the flow, and find your glow.

In celebration of Father’s day, our Dr. Lynda, host of the Conspiracy of Goodness Podcast, shared this spotlight of 3 of her favorite episodes featuring fascinating individuals who happen to be great dads.
This week I'm happy to learn of and share this great organization dedicated to ‘Protecting the Protectors,’ Cultural Sanctuaries. “At Cultural Sanctuaries, they work at the crossroads of culture and conservation and support indigenous communities in protecting and celebrating their culture, language, land, and ocean. Indigenous peoples are the best guardians of the earth's biodiversity. If we protect indigenous cultures, we protect the planet. We must protect the protectors.”
Read and LISTEN the Poem NASA Will Send to Jupiter’s Moon Europa - Alongside Ada Limón’s words, you can add your name to the spacecraft that will search for life on the icy moon. This “message in a bottle” resembles a past effort from the agency in 1977, when NASA launched two copies of a phonograph disc called the Golden Record, with one version on each of the Voyager probes. That time capsule is still flying through space, containing sounds from Earth, like laughter, music, and animal noises.
Ready to go off the beaten path and visit 13 UNDER-THE-RADAR DESTINATIONS IN AMERICA? One of my favorite towns, Whitefish, Montana made the list and is home of one our wild and fancy camps at ROAM Beyond.

I encourage you to take 7 minutes to watch this gem: Unlocking the Power of Primordial Wisdom: Transitioning from 'I' to 'We' with Charles Eisenstein.

This week we celebrate Father’s Day in the USA and with that I wanted to share the lyrics from our family song, “Be Still” from the Killers. The lyrics capture how I show up as dad and I’m so grateful to have the honor to be a friend, mentor and father to Quinn and Olive.

Feel free to watch a video of a live performance and if it resonates, share with your family and kiddos this weekend.

Be still
And go on to bed
Nobody knows what lies ahead
And life is short
To say the least
We're in the belly of the beast
Be still
Wild and young
Long may your innocence reign
Like shells on the shore
And may your limits be unknown
And may your efforts be your own
If you ever feel you can't take it anymore
Don't break character
You've got a lot of heart
Is this real or just a dream?
Rise up like the sun
Labor 'til the work is done
Be still
One day you'll leave
Fearlessness on your sleeve
When you've come back, tell me what did you see
What did you see?
Was there something out there for me?
Be still
Close your eyes
Soon enough you'll be on your own
Steady and straight
And if they drag you through the mud
It doesn't change what's in your blood
(Over rock, over chain, over trap, over plain)
When they knock you down
Don't break character
You've got a lot of heart
Is this real or just a dream?
Be still
Be still
Be still
Be still
Over rock and chain
Over sunset plain
Over trap and snare
When you're in too deep
In your wildest dream
In your made-up scheme
When they knock you down
When they knock you down
Don't break character
You've got so much heart
Is this real or just a dream?
Oh, rise up like the sun and
Labor 'til the work is done
Rise up like the sun and
Labor 'til the work is
Rise up like the sun and
Labor 'til the work is done
