In this episode, I chat with Tucker Walsh. Tucker is an Emmy award-winning documentary filmmaker who has spent the last few years exploring transformation experiences and communities, including a Wilderness Quest with Animus Valley Institute, which is the focus of our discussion. We chat about:

• Tucker's life as a filmmaker and the circumstances that led to his Wilderness Quest

• A bunch of other topics in dancing around soul, spirit, and transformation
