Broadcasting from Greece, David shares his experiences among thousand-year-old olive trees, his recent 11-day water fast, and his encounters with an unusual antenna technology developed by an inventor in Athens. This fascinating journey opens a discussion about energy, consciousness, longevity, and the possibilities that emerge when we remain curious about the world around us. Alongside David, Co-Host Red Wolf discusses the healing powers of homegrown and cured tobacco, as well as the myriad benefits of foraged medicinal mushrooms.
