About The Nature of Well-being

The nature of well-being aims to gather and share stories about the mental, physical, and spiritual benefits of spending time in nature. We believe that the wilderness provides a crucial environment for people to find answers to those deeper questions in life and satisfy their biological need for things like meaning, purpose and a spiritual connection to the world them. This podcast grew out of the documentary project, "Mind, Body, and Soul: the Nature of Well-being." While filming interviews for the movie we realized that these stories needed to be shared with the world.

#20 - An Interview with Robin Henderson as a Zen Hermit Monk who spent 100 days of solitude in the wilderness.

An Interview with Robin Henderson on Life as a Zen Hermit Monk, part 1 of 3. In a world dominated by constant stimulation and digital distractions, Robin chose a radically different path—one of silence, solitude, and simplicity. For 100 days, he lived alone deep in the wilderness on a meditation retreat, fully immersed in the practice of Zen. As a modern hermit monk, Robin stepped away from the noise of society to explore the inner landscape of his mind and soul. In this rare and intimate interview, he shares his experiences, insights, and the challenges of living without the comforts—and distractions—of modern life.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
