Depth Perception: conversation w/ Kyle Koch

Описание: Great free flow conversation with adventure guide Kyle Koch. We talked a lot about what it is to be a good facilitator. This is a bit of a philosophy of leadership chat between 2 people who take movement in nature seriously and have dedicated a significant portion of life to the craft.

I had the opportunity to hear his take on outdoor recreation leadership. We considered the differences between therapy, education and growth, as well as ways of learning and being in relationship to others. He highlights the value of learning core skills that function in all areas life. We discuss structure in curriculum, while leaving room for being responsive in the moment. Towards the end, Kyle brings it home clearly showing how necessary it is for an instructor to have both the humility of beginner and the confidence of a master.


You'll see here Kyle has great insight, observation and active listening skills. Like me he teaches strength training and functional movement and hands on skills in connection to land. He teaches survivalist techniques. His upcoming class is on primitive fire building. If you want to be able to fend for yourself when/ if shit goes down or be prepared for natural disasters and accidents AND Have FUN, BUILD Stamina while you learn, contact him to attend bow drill & friction fire Next month in Port Townsend.

In this conversation we also consider depression, disconnection from community and nature, anger and suffering, and boundaries. 1st off , I wished there had been more stories... and I would have liked to delve deeper into anger and human instincts and simply listened more. But as my grandma says, once you've solved all the world's problems in such a short time in deep conversation then you've got to get back to real of it. This was super fun for me, an honor to thresh out the questions I've had around running my own programs and so thankfull for Kyle's insights. My hope is that you enjoy being witness and get something to take back and apply to your own life. Megawetch .
