RMP 226 - The Wisdom of The Wild with Shawn Berry and Jeddy Azuma

"What's more valuable, iving a rewarding life or rewarding yourself for the life you live?" Recorded in the desert as men fasted in the wilderness on a rites of passage journey, Jeddy and Shawn hit home on the profound benefits possible when one chooses this path. Shawn has been fasting and guiding men for 24 years on vision fasts, enabling him to speak from a wealth of personal experience and deep perspective.
