“I don't know where I'm going, but I know exactly how to get there” - Boyd Varty
Every person I know wants to reach their full potential — collectively, we just have many different concepts around what that means and how we get there.
Today’s conversation dives deep into the realm of the soul and the initiatory experience.
is a leadership coach and wilderness guide. One of the reasons I was excited to chat with Brooks is the formative role nature plays in his work helping people make contact with their soul and bring its expression into reality. In my opinion, this is the pathway we reach our full potential.In this conversation, we talk about the pan-cultural tradition of the initiatory process and why it can be so impactful in our growth journeys. We explore how multi-day fast vision quests in nature can create a container for the process of soul initiation.
It seems like we are at an interesting and exciting time as a society where there are more access points for people to touch this deeper part of the Self.
Where Brooks and I both see opportunity and spend time discussing is the journey of moving from peak experience to embodiment of our Soul’s deepest desires on a day-to-day basis. These waters can be murky, so this was such a fun conversation to dive into. My two cents is that one of the most helpful assets during this unfolding is learning to trust the unknown.
Lately, I’ve been meeting lots of people who feel called to something bigger than what they’re currently doing for a vocation. There’s a feeling that they’re meant to do something more, but they’re unsure how to make it work due to financial reasons or something else.
Brooks and I go deep on some ideas on how to navigate this experience and what he’s seen work well with his clients. For anyone amid this experience, I think there are some great nuggets here.
If discovering your Soul’s higher calling or a vision quest is interesting to you, I encourage you to check out some of the awesome resources and programs that Brooks is putting together next year.
I hope you enjoy this conversation,
-Scott

Dear Scott and Brooks,
"The constant practice of full surrender and agency at the same time. You get to choose how you show up in every present moment, and you get to embrace the not knowing of what comes next."
With deep gratitude,
Rodrigo
Would it be possible to have transcripts of interviews like these? Even automated ones would be great.
