KENYA + MICHELLE JACKSON-SAULTERS When was the last time you stood in awe of your body and what it can do? Have you ever? Tonight we're sharing Chapter 17 around the campfire, and it's all about understanding how trauma manifests in our minds and bodies, and how the outdoors can help us heal. So who better to kick off this conversation than the humans behind the organization that gave me the language I needed to articulate my experience on the #TransCatalinaTrail - Kenya and Michelle Jackson-Saulters, the founders of the Outdoor Journal Tour and the #WeHikeToHeal Movement. Join us as we chat about the uprising in this country since they were last on the show, how sponsors are reacting (or not reacting), and what it means to find alignment and how to cultivate more of that in your life.

AARON WOLF @aaronwolfmusic knows there's a Better Way - and that's exactly why he's joining us around the fire at the Reggae Ranch tonight. He's the mastermind beyond the @musicianmasterysummit, an entrepreneur, and a musician.

EMILY HOPCIAN @emilyhopcian and I first connected when she was writing a piece about people living with diabetes in the outdoors, and we were fast friends after that interview. Born and raised in the US, Emily has been living in Argentina for the past few years writing, creating content, and birthing a beautiful documentary about female tour guides in Nepal. She is a firm believer in the power of storytelling, and I'm excited to hear some of her stories around the fire tonight.
