What does it mean to be a "Freethinker"?
Today, we meet with one who calls himself "The Friendly Freethinker" — Chris Highland.
A skilled presenter, Chris Highland has given public presentations, taught classes and led retreats for congregations, business groups, high schools, universities, social service workers and youth leaders. He has taught in Buddhist, Christian, Jewish, Pagan, Unitarian, secular and other settings. His educational style is engaging and inspiring, drawing students or audiences into an active participation in the subject.
He is a deep and thoughtful Nature-lover and author of two dozen plus books inspired by writers like Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau, and naturalist John Muir.
In this episode Chris shares the concept of the "Forest of Faith" and "The Landscape of Belief" inspired by the Wild World of Nature all around us. He also discusses the importance of being present with animals and people alike, and encourages us to truly listen, not just with our ears but with our hearts.
Finally, I believe you will love how Chris beautifully reminds us through the writings of Emerson, Muir and Thoreau, that because we are Nature, no one can ever be completely disconnected from Nature.
