“I believe that when we are in a state of connection with nature, we are more in touch with our own true nature. And when we're in touch with our own true nature, we're in more in touch with the true nature of everything around us." ~ Brooks BarronHello, Wild Ones ~ Brooks Barron (@starhearthawk) from Embody Your Light is the founder of Starlight Leadership and Power Awakening, leading visionaries through wilderness-based rites of passage. Brooks was the co-guide on my 11-day wilderness-based vision quest with Animas Valley Institute in May 2021. His work is a unique blend of executive coaching, wilderness initiations, medicine journeys, and soul guiding. His passion is to support leaders who are courageous enough to follow their inner truth, lean into their darkness and embody their light out in the world. In this conversation, we discuss Brooks’ personal, educational and professional re-wilding journeys — from Stanford Graduate School to a San Francisco climate tech startup and eventually into the wilderness. His story traces the success paradigm of the ‘traditional path’ and highlights that fulfillment does not come from titles or achievements. Rather, it comes by prioritizing the needs, desires and genius of our soul.A few show highlights ~ Our shared experiences on a wilderness-based vision fast with Animas Valley Institute & the teachings of Bill PlotkinThe necessity of healing and transforming within communities instead of further individualization and isolationWhat it really means to ‘embrace your darkness’ as a vehicle for genuinely stepping into your lightHow to identify the signs within yourself that it’s time for a meaningful change in your life and your work in the worldThe playful potency of cannabis sativa, a healing plant medicine, when consumed in a ceremonial fashion with experienced guidesAnd much more!
