What happens to the human spirit when we spend our days indoors, online, and overwhelmed? We get louder, faster, and more divided, and we forget the stillness that already lives inside us. In this episode of Voices of Courage, we explore why reconnecting with nature is one of the most powerful things you can do to quiet the mind, open the heart, and remember who you really are.
Host Ken D Foster is joined by alpinist and award-winning author Michael Schauch. He has climbed deep into the Himalaya, and he brings back a message about connection, courage, and what nature can teach us about ourselves.
Michael is a mountaineer, author, and member of the Explorers Club. His first book, A Story of Karma: Finding Love and Truth in the Lost Valley of the Himalaya, was published by Rocky Mountain Books and has earned praise from Wade Davis, Stephen Cope, and Paula Arai, as well as Kirkus Reviews and BlueInk (starred). For over a decade, he has mentored and supported Tibetan Buddhist youth in Kathmandu, Nepal. His writing has appeared in Elephant Journal, Unity Magazine, and Thrive Global. He holds an MBA from Queen's University and lives in Squamish, BC, with his wife, Chantal. His newest book, Anattā: Heart of Wisdom (Hohm Press), weaves contemplative essays and poetry with stories from the Himalaya to explore the Buddhist idea of "non-self" and how nature restores our sense of belonging.
