168. Lesson: The Magic of Soil with Finian Makepeace Mar 09, 2021

Show notes

Today's episode is an excerpt from the Commune course, Soil is the Climate Solution with Finian Makepace, a co-founder of the organization Kiss the Ground. You can enjoy this program free for 5 days at onecommune.com/soil. In this lesson Finian shares how carbon is not the enemy. The goal is not to eliminate carbon, since all life is built from carbon. But rather, the goal is to build healthy soil with carbon through the incredible interactions that happen between plants and microorganisms underground. The result is that degraded soil is healed, and carbon is sequestered in a beneficial location. This is the magic of soil. Learn more about Commune at onecommune.com.

167. Grief is Inevitable, Suffering is Optional with David Kessler and Liz Hernandez Mar 04, 2021

Show notes

Unless you are incapable of love (and that sounds rather bleak) then at some point in your life, you will experience a deep loss. And it’s easy to get stuck in the cycle of suffering that grief brings. But as grief expert David Kessler says in this episode: The pain of grief is inevitable. Suffering is optional. Today's show features David in conversation with Liz Hernandez, an Emmy-nominated television personality and journalist. While her career was taking off, Liz was also dealing with the cognitive decline of her mother and a tenuous relationship. She began working with David who helped her find purpose in her pain. This is part one in a two-part series on Grief featuring David Kessler. Commune recently launched a course with David called Help for the Hurting Heart.
