YOU have always had a yen for the stunning peak-studded scenery, and get a kick out of endurance events. You are eager to put on crampons and use your ice axe to get to the most awe-inspiring places. Your dreams are made of the white fluffy stuff that your skis float in, and you want to earn your turns. You crave the adrenalin, thin air, and the giddy high of standing on a hard-earned summit. You are not new to this -- maybe you grew up running around the hills, or ski-bummed after college. You …

Like that old, soulful U2 rock anthem, do you sometimes find yourself singing "I still haven't found what I'm looking for," and somehow the song's sentiment connects with your spiritual journey?  Perhaps you feel emotionally distant from the Christian spirituality and Sunday worship you grew up with.  Curious to find out why you’re having these feelings/thoughts/disconnect?  But more importantly, curious if there is a better way to think about, experiment with, and practice faith in the 21st Cen …

It demonstrates how to integrate and include body, mind, and spirit in self, culture, and nature. This means acting so as to find your entire life to be full and complete, a life that “makes room for everything,” from wild rock star to devoted family man, from bodily pursuits to spiritual practice, from nature worship to meditation, from business practices to play and …

Have you ever found yourself on a walk in the forest and suddenly come to a place that immediately felt special? Maybe there was some uniquely shaped rock or a tree that attracted your attention?

Many people testify that they feel a strong affinity with nature all around us, that their strongest spiritual experiences are when they are m …
