Mael Brigde Interview on Forest Spirituality with Julie Brett

 

I really enjoyed talking with Julie Brett last year, and I am almost finished listening to the interview. I find I am not completely embarrassed by anything I said. So that's good!

We talked about Brigit and keening and so on. Julie made some interesting points and it was great to think about things with her. You might want to check out some of her other interviews. I've listened to several and they're all interesting.

I should say that if you are interested in taking any of the classes I talk about, I am trying to figure out how to set up PayPal. So if that is the way you want to pay you might need to get a hold of me and I can help you get in.

You can find this interview on various podcast sites, as well as on Julie's website, here:
