Every Stone a Teacher\u2026 Every Breeze a Language<\/h3>\n

\"\" A keynote for audiences of all types and ages, highlighting Doug\u2019s music and story-telling, with everything tied in to an abiding love for the earth. From a Native American legend of how mosquitoes came to be, or how a rabbit reached the moon, to songs about Spaceship Earth, Someday Isle, and being careful about what you step on, to the quiet pondering of our place in the universe, this program takes an audience on a gentle journey. Along the way Doug \u201ctransports his listeners back into the fabric of Nature\u201d and \u201creminds us of our unity with all of life\u201d. Des Moines Register; Joseph Cornel, author of Sharing Nature with Children<\/p>\n

Nature is filled with teachers and teachings, for those who know how to listen and look. There are clues on how to live a \u201chuman\u201d life, in harmony with our deeper selves and our environment. Each of us can explore the meanings that are there; within the sunrise, the stream, the flower, the rocks and woods of everyday life.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd what is each of us but a universe in miniature\u2026with lakes and forests, \u00a0stars and planets undreamed of, and unexplored.<\/em>\u201d \u2014Douglas Wood<\/p>\n

Walking in Old Turtle\u2019s World<\/h3>\n

The simple yet profound spirituality of this wise old being has entranced millions of\u00a0readers. Join Doug and Old Turtle in a guided journey through a world in which \u201cevery lake is a mirror and every tree a ladder to the stars.\u201d It is a world in which the sacred can be found in every one of us and in the world around us, in which we see ourselves in one another’s faces. \u00a0In Old Turtle’s world, there is no place and no one who does not matter, who is not important.<\/p>\n

For, of course, it is not only Old Turtle\u2019s world, it is ours as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd the people began to see God in one another\u2026 \u00a0and in the beauty of all the Earth<\/em>\u201d \u2014from Old Turtle<\/p>\n

The Wilderness Within\u2026<\/h3>\n

Our Psychological-Spiritual Relationship with the Natural World<\/p>\n

St. Bernard de Clairvaux once said, \u201cYou will find something greater in woods than in books. Trees and stones will teach you what masters never knew.\u201d And Longfellow wrote, \u201cAll things are symbols; the external shows of nature have their image in the mind.\u201dThere is an inseparable bond between external and internal landscapes, each one reflecting and illuminating the other. There is truly a wildness within.<\/p>\n

All One Trip<\/h3>\n

Much of Douglas Wood\u2019s life has been about trips: wilderness expeditions, river journeys and canoe trips, motorcycle trips, book tours. But the essential idea for any traveler is that in spite of beginnings and endings, hellos and good-byes, it is all one trip. How we travel is who we are. And we are all traveling together.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row padding_top=”0px” padding_bottom=”0px”][vc_column fade_animation_offset=”45px” width=”1\/1″]
