Episode 313 - Buddhist Boot Camp Round 2 with Timber Hawkeye

Step into a provocative conversation with Timber Hawkeye, bestselling author of Buddhist Boot Camp and featured speaker at this year’s Whole Planet Spirituality Forum & Retreat at Unity Village, Missouri. Having journeyed from rat race to mindful living, Timber brings alive the wisdom of Buddhist teachings and its monastic vows. He shares his guiding principle to “do less harm” which provokes active questioning of all that we think, say, and do. Learn how the spiritual path is less about rising in consciousness and more about loosening our grip, letting go of judgment/social comparisons, and learning to say, “thank you” for everything that comes our way. This episode is full of practical tips, viral metaphors, and inspiring stories that will shift your mindset and motivate action. You will also hear more about what’s in store at Rev. Carol’s fifth annual retreat this October 16-19 at Unity Village, Missouri. This year's theme is "Homo Ahimsa Rising." Everyone is welcome and we would love to see you there!
