Welcome back to the pond. Last time you were here it seemed interesting enough, so why not make your way back in through the mud and the shrubs. Join, pull up a log, listen to the frogs.
We go through topics such as Big foot, Middle Earth, Aliens, and probably much more.
We will be recording more of these wetland adventures. Thanks for the support of the first episode we put out together! Glad you enjoyed it.

EP3. The Ponderers: I’ve still got a frogment of hope left.

Welcome to the Pond dear story keepers.
Imagine for a moment that you found a trail through a swampy forest. Watching your step, you weave through the dense willow bushes. In the fog you begin to hear voices and they are having a lively conversation. As you get closer you smell a familiar herb in the air, curiosity grips you! Who could be out here? Noticing that the voices are arising from a pond nearby you quietly approach. Peering over a large rotten log, you see a frog with a long pipe across the pond. Smoke rising from its pipe, it rests on a lilly pad, keenly listening to another frog perched on the shoreline. It appears they are high as fuck, discussing the nature of reality. You settle in, this should be good.
These episodes with my good friend Tina are a gift to myself. An opportunity to drop into the absurd waters and play. This is a branch away from my usual episodes as I find myself needing more humour these days!
Meet Tina! “Hello, I’m Tina! I am a creative person who loves to ponder the possibilities of the universe. I am a freelance jack of all trades, digital designer, side-hustler and student of the human experience. I enjoy visually pleasing things and love to help others bring their imagination and passions to life.”
If you have any topics you would like us to ponder please reach out and let us know!

Part 1: Pathways to God with Beth Kotierk, a road that led home.

Beth is Inuk, originally from Igloolik, Nunavut and grew up in Ottawa, Ontario who now works as a lawyer. I met Beth through doing somatic processing and inner exploration. Our work together focused on healing religious, political, and historical trauma. Beth and I connected to talk about how that work ultimately lead her to Islam and she expressed that it was the best thing that could have happened to her. I couldn't wait to hear her story and I was so overjoyed that she chose to share the medicine she found.
