Dangerous Wisdom with a friend from the Emerald Isle. Take a journey to Ireland without leaving home, and take a leap into the sacred wells of wisdom, wonder, and magic.

Join us as we contemplate the power of place and the places of our empowerment. The delightful and insightful Manchán Magan and I read and reflect on passages from his book and other sources of wisdom, inviting you into your own practice of sacred place.

In addition to reading Manchán's beautiful book, you can get some extra, free support on reconnecting to the land using the link below for a free download of "Practices of a Sacred Place," from the Wisdom-Based Teaching, Learning, and Evolution handbook. The wisdom traditions can offer us beautiful guidance on how to begin to reconnect with the mind of Nature and the nature of mind, and this set of practices provides an excellent foundation:
