Includes one of Jedidah's favorite poems.We have a very special guest this week, travel writer, public speaker, and the author of “To Shake The Sleeping Self, Jedidah Jenkins, is with us on #DENtalksPodcast! This episode is a treat, we dig into Jedidah’s memoir of his 14,000 mile cycling trip from Oregon to Patagonia and the surprising (or not so surprising) lessons that came out of this brave adventure. Jedidah jumps right into some heavy topics such as the stages of enlightenment, dismantling the order we’ve been taught as children, questioning his strong Christian faith, navigating being a gay Christian, how the Discovery Channel was an outlet for his childhood curiosity, his internal experience in the Mexican desert alone with his bike, his perspective on social media and travel today, and even his theory on time. This episode has so many incredible takeaways, but one of the biggest lessons Jedidah shares is how a journey like the one he took, really do work in impacting and changing your life forever. It may not be on your expected timeline, but the journey is always working within you. He even shares a beautiful poem with us at the end of the episode for his Personal Practice - you don’t want to miss it!Show Notes: www.DENtalksPodcast.comDEN Meditation: www.DENmeditation.comDon't live in LA but want to access all that The DEN has to offer?
