Walk

Soul Search

In Episode One of our very first podcast series, called "Welcome Your Life," we look at walking as a spiritual practice to deepen our awareness in life. This is a certain kind of walking, not to get anywhere or to accomplish anything. Instead it is a walk to linger and to listen.
We'll join Kirk Davis, a San Francisco native and community leader in the city's Bayview neighborhood, to trace the steps of a sacred walk he would take through the city. Often taking several hours, it is a way he intentionally listened to what the city is saying to him about the past and the future. And to what stirred in his heart as he contemplated both. Find out what he heard.
