Craig Neal July 6: The Great Remembering: An African Journey Home with Craig Neal, Co-Founder, VisionHolder, Heartland Inc.
We’ve all had those moments of awakening or remembering, some fleeting as if from a dream, where we know and feel connected in a visceral sense to all things, human and otherwise. Then, most of us return to the “real world” where day-to-day life resumes. What if these moments were the reality in which we were born to live, and that what if these episodes are the great remembering of what it truly is to be human? Craig’s recent trip to east Africa, the birthplace of humanity, was one such moment in time, when the journey to a far off place brought forward a deep remembering of innocence, and connection to all things. Craig will share his reflections of the journey with 13 men and what has come to pass.
