I recently started listening to HumaNature and I love it! It’s neat to hear so many stories, especially with a more local connection in Wyoming. Are you looking for more stories to record? If so, I may have one. About 3 years ago I had the opportunity to participate in a sweat lodge with a family that a friend of mine knew on the Pine Ridge Reservation, South Dakota. It was one of the most impactful experiences I’ve had for a number of reasons. I’m working on writing a narrative about the event and, after listening to the diverse HumaNature stories, I thought it could make a really neat podcast. The significance of the structure of the sweat lodge, the types of rocks they used, the intense physical experience, and the moving native song were all created a very natural and simultaneously spiritual experience for me. Let me know if this sounds like a lead for the HumaNature podcasts and I’d be happy to talk with you more about it.
