So far, I’ve participated in two of the Philosophy Walks…a lovely September birthday treat to myself with a follow-up engaging evening at Montana Wild. The Philosophy Walk itself was beyond inspirational. Billed as 3-4 hours, our walk was closer to 6 hours, simply because our group of 12 or so became so deeply engaged with the guest speakers/co-philosophers-on-trail, with each other, and immersed in our lovely Montana landscape. Thank you Marisa & Merlin for sharing this very special landscape! As someone who has only been a Montana resident for 7 years and struggling to understand Montana’s many dichotomies, this very special experience was something I could not have programmed for myself.
