Ep 14 - Belinda Kirk on The Adventure Revolution

In this episode, I chat with Belinda Kirk, the explorer, author & speaker.

Belinda's adventures include walking across Nicaragua, searching for camels in China's Desert of Death, discovering ancient rock paintings in Lesotho, pioneering inclusive expeditions for people with disabilities. She has led dozens of youth development expeditions around the world and gained a Guinness World Record for rowing unsupported around Britain.

Her book Adventure Revolution: The life-changing power of choosing challenge explores all the ways that adventure has the power to transform.

We chat about:

  • Her experience leading adventures with youth, the mental health crisis, and the power of getting outdoors
  • The chronic stressors of modern society and the science behind spending time outdoors to "reset" our nervous system
  • Belinda's most epic adventures, her relationship with fear, and how that has changed with time
  • much, much more

Like many, nature and adventure has deeply transformed who I am.

I like to envision the wisdom, healing, and flow states gifted to me in nature as whispers from the mountain, transmissions that bring out our best selves, give us clarity of purpose, and our show us place in the world.

This project is an exploration of how people like to play outdoors, the way it bring meaning and transformation, and what it looks like to build a practice to give us reliable access to inspiration, connection, and healing.
