  1. Looking into the Eyes of Bear: Embracing Wild Joy with Author and Wilderness Guide, Larry Glover

    MAR 12

    Looking into the Eyes of Bear: Embracing Wild Joy with Author and Wilderness Guide, Larry Glover

    In this episode, we shed layers of self and society to embrace joy and wholeness in nature with author and wilderness guide, Larry Glover.  Larry Glover is the author of Wild Joy: Ecospiritual Encounters with Nature as Teacher, Healer, and Lover; winner of two Gold Medals in the 2025 Global Book Awards. He aspires to discover what being human truly is, particularly in a paradoxical world woven of mystery and consciousness and fire and water and air and earth and spirit and soul too. He struggled from an early age with a madness that would destroy himself, which he came to recognize as a cultural story of separation and unworthiness for life. Larry now leans into our shared love of nature to inspire and deepen what it is to truly love the self, through his writing, speaking, coaching, workshops and wilderness retreats held in conjunction with the Cheryl Slover-Linett and the non-profit leadfeather.org. He is author of Wild Joy, Ecospiritual Encounters with Nature as Teacher, Healer, and Lover.  Discover more of Larry’s writing and how to engage with him at larryglover.com and download a free gift: Healing the Jehovah Wound: A Path to Wholeness and Wild Joy.
