Returning to Swimming in the Atlantic is my new post at The Polymath site.
After more than twenty years away from ocean swimming, I returned to swim in the Atlantic. Returning to Swimming in the Atlantic is a very personal thing, and post, to mr. Sea swimming, bodily memory, presence, the North Atlantic coast of Porto, Foz, rediscovering a relationship that had never truly disappeared. You can read it here.
Why Sessions at The Listening Room HQ Matter. Reading can open a door, but insight needs a place to live. The Listening Room HQ – my men’s practice – sessions offer men a rare space to speak freely and discover clarity through deep, attentive listening. You can book a session at: https://www.thelisteningroomhq.com/p/sessions.html
