Up on the podcast this week we have Chris Geisler. Chris is Host of the Chris Geisler Podcast, a podcast to explore our nature and nurture a meaningful life. He is the Founder of Men of Earth, a space for men to connect, learn, re-wild, be accountable and gain clarity on their mission. He runs a private online men’s community dedicated to interwork and self-leadership. And in this exact moment in time he might be in the cold plunge, since he is leading a 21 Day Cold Water challenge which started on 1 November.
I connected with Chris recently and what came through most was his commitment to nurturing a meaningful life, both for himself and facilitating that in others. Bringing that alive in this conversation, Chris draws attention to what this really means, including connection and community, purpose and mission and creating the life we really want. His personal mission centres around creating more spaces where we can access more parts of ourselves that we have forgotten about and let go of and using attention and intention to bring these parts back, whether that is through a podcast conversation, retreats and group spaces and challenges or on the dance floor.
In this episode:
- the essence of creating a nurturing, meaningful life and what this means
- the importance of mission and purpose
- creating community: cultivating connection plus making sacrifices and embracing loneliness to open up into deeper friendships and relationships
- building trust in ourselves and our lives
- shifting suppressed emotion and pent up anger into healthy emotional fluidity
- opening our hearts where they might have been previously shut down and connecting back to feeling
- creating space for grief within our own emotional experience and wider collective spaces
- getting closer to our roots and rekindling our separation from natural environments
- stretching our limitations on what we’ve made possible for ourselves
- building and joining collective spaces to discover long-lost parts of ourselves
- the healing and transformational power of cold water therapy in expanding our tolerance, resilience and comfort zones
All this and more!
