The Values That Hold Us Together w/ Eric Gullickson

Stephen sits down with Eric Gullickson, president of Mohonk Mountain House, to explore the enduring values that have sustained the historic Hudson Valley retreat for more than 150 years. Grounded in Quaker-inspired principles of stewardship, reverence for nature, and human connection, their conversation reflects on what it means to live thoughtfully and faithfully in chaotic times—and how places of beauty and stillness can help us rediscover what truly matters.Chapters:00:00:00 – Introduction to Mohonk Mountain House00:03:25 – The Quaker Values Behind Mohonk00:06:43 – 156 Years of Family Stewardship00:09:40 – A Different Kind of Family Business00:13:16 – Preserving the Land for Future Generations00:17:19 – Why Nature Still Matters00:19:26 – Eric’s Personal Connection to Mohonk00:25:52 – Growing Up with Reverence for Nature00:32:32 – Holding Values in a Divided Culture00:37:17 – Living in the Meantime of Chaotic Times Get full access to Living in the Meantime at livinginthemeantime.substack.com/subscribe
