    #53 What I’ve Learned from a Season of Exploring Outer and Inner Landscapes

    As Season Two of Create Good Stories comes to a close, Tal reflects on the lessons learned from exploring the landscapes around us—and the ways these outer landscapes can illuminate the inner landscapes of our hearts and minds. Throughout the season, Tal has explored how the natural world can become a powerful and wise teacher, inviting us to look more deeply at ourselves, embrace change, and discover new meaning in the beauty and complexity of life. In this closing episode, he shares some of his key takeaways from the season and reflects on how paying closer attention to the world around us can transform the way we experience the world within us. Show Notes:  Three Books That Inspired This Journey At the end of the episode, Tal shares three books that have influenced his exploration of outer and inner landscapes. The Inner Landscape — John O’Donohue A beautiful exploration of the soul, spirituality, and the hidden depths of our inner lives.Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life — Richard Rohr A thought-provoking exploration of personal growth and the wisdom that comes with life's second half. Tal particularly recommends the chapter The Shadowlands, which explores the importance of recognizing and integrating our shadow selves.The Living Mountain — Nan Shepherd A poetic meditation on the Scottish Highlands and the profound connection between the natural world and our inner experience. A reminder that sometimes the greatest discoveries come not from conquering a landscape, but from learning to truly inhabit it.https://www.instagram.com/taleyre/ https://www.taleyre.com/

    #52 Live from a Mountaintop: Tal’s Closing Reflections from the 2026 Flims Forum

    In Episode 52, we hear Tal’s closing reflections from the 2026 Flims Forum, recorded live from the "Cassons" mountaintop above Flims. Tal shares two of his favorite poems by Rainer Maria Rilke and Mary Oliver, weaving their messages into the Forum’s theme of beautifying our inner landscapes. A special acknowledgment goes to the poet David Whyte, who first introduced Tal to the beautiful connection between these two poems and the invitation to move toward the element where we truly belong. These insights were inspired by Whyte’s wonderful audiobook, Midlife and the Great Unknown: Finding Courage and Clarity Through Poetry, which Tal warmly recommends. Listen to David Whyte’s audiobook on Apple Books. https://www.instagram.com/taleyre/ https://www.taleyre.com/

    #49 Encore: Crossover Episode — In the Arena with the Eyre Sisters: Shadow Work

    As Tal prepares the final details for the 2026 Flims Forum, enjoy this encore episode from Season One of Create Good Stories, featuring Tal’s sisters, Shawni and Saydi, and the important topic of Shadow Work. This was one of Tal’s favorite episodes from Season One because it explores a topic that he believes we don’t look at nearly enough: the parts of ourselves we would sometimes rather not see. Tal believes that doing this difficult inner work is key to living a full and meaningful life. In this conversation, Tal, Shawni, and Saydi discuss the hard but important work of honestly looking at our shadow sides—our weaknesses, fears, failures, and other parts of ourselves we may be tempted to hide or ignore—and what can happen when we begin to acknowledge and integrate them. Enjoy! https://www.instagram.com/taleyre/ https://www.taleyre.com/
