Listen to this Podcast:
It was my pleasure to spend an afternoon with the brilliant and provocative Stephen Hatch, a “worldly monk” who has spent his life in the pursuit of truth and the sharing of life’s wonders through photography, philosophy and community. In this uncomplication podcast Stephen and I explore a wide field of topics ranging from his upbringing amidst the diverse spiritual traditions of Southeastern Pennsylvania, to the beauty and wisdom of the natural world, to the practice of observing silence in our daily lives to bring about life-transforming potentialities.
As with everything on Uncomplication.com, this conversation is shared in the same spirit one shares music: purely for your listening pleasure. So sit back, relax and enjoy!
