28 Day of Connection First Journey.
Welcome!
Gratitude for this chance for us to connect together with friends, family and nature.
This is the first of three days of recordings from Michael “Michi” Burger and Jon Young to introduce and orient the Connection First Journey. Thank you for joining us!
We hope you enjoy this journey.
The goal is to send this to people we know who would be happy and willing to receive this. This seems best supported by a WhatsApp group (or similar platform). We are inviting people to share with those they know and love and who feel willing and happy to receive this offering. We would like people to keep this informal, and not to put this offering on social media, or formal organizational email lists. It’s not intended to be a program. It’s an offering from our hearts.
You can also find the daily Podcasts on the web with this link:
https://www.jonyoung.online/forum and on this platform there is a place to offer comments, reflections, questions and stories. Michi and Jon will monitor this site.
Any questions please send to connectionfirst@jonyoung.org so that Michi and Jon will read and respond.
All the best,
Michi & Jon
We tell you about our Intentions, values and stories how we got to this moment.
From Michi:
Welcome and thank you for taking time. My gratitude goes to this special time we all are in right now that gives us the chance to grow together.
My name is Michael Burger, I've been on the path to become a wilderness trainer and nature- culture-connection mentor for more than a decade. Over the past yearsI have learned a lot, tried out what I have learned and gained wisdom.
When the news got to us a few days ago that the schools were closing, I thought,
“Yay!, my childhood dream is getting fulfilled for these children.” Then I had to think of all the people who are taking care of the children now.
Remembering my own path of hosting groups of children. It was the little helps, inspirations, ideas and stories from mentors that gave me support and structure. This helped me to be more relaxed when playing, discovering, experiencing adventures, laughing and having fun with the children. At the same time, there was more understanding, depth and kindness towards nature, between us and in me.
Today I would like to give inspirations, ideas and stories in daily podcasts that support you along the way and leave a feeling of connection.
From Jon:
Hi this is Jon Young, feeling gratitude for what Michael “Michi” Burger is offering to this journey.
Including today’s recording and text message from Michi & I, (13 minutes), we will offer you three days of orientation recordings and texts to help you prepare and find others who may be interested in sharing this journey with you. Please feel free to create a WhatsApp group to share with these friends and neighbors. Then you can forward (in the same order please) the Day 0-0 (today’s recording & text), then, Day 0-1 and Day 0-2 to help others orient. The first exercises are in Day 1 and will follow.
For anyone else having trouble playing the audio file, I had to add the .m4a to the end of the filename after it downloaded. Then I was able to play it.
