Event:  Wisdom from the Woods wtih Mark Langenfeld The Witching Hour with Patti Negri

Patti welcomes author and professor Mark Langenfeld to The Witching Hour to discuss his book Wisdom from the Woods and how reconnecting with Mother Nature can reduce stress, depression, and overstimulation in modern life, even for urban dwellers or those homebound. Mark shares an early spiritual experience with a great horned owl, explains how nature teaches through silent metaphors and modeling, and offers practical ways to connect—through stillness, meditation, moonlight, gardening, dreams, and noticing small daily changes. He notes each of the book’s 52 chapters includes an assignment and can be used weekly as a devotional, and he donates 100% of proceeds to his college’s Student Nutrition Assistance Program. Mark also discusses pagan awakening, instincts as inherited knowledge, interconnectedness, and self-esteem as key to caring for the Earth.
