No one can tell you what your track will be, or how to know what calls you and brings you to life. That's your work to do.
But a great question to ask is: How do you know you love something?

The most sought-after art form of the future will be the creation of gatherings where people are guided out of their closed lives into deeper encounters with others and all life.
For me this is part of what Paul Hawkin’s calls the greatest unnamed social movement in history.

I am deeply convinced that a person who tracks down an authentic life opens up possibilities for themselves and their community.
In these times, as the planet screams at us to reimagine our way of life, these new possibilities are deeply important.

If you don't know what the track is in your own life, then you must discover it. If you know what the track is, then you must follow it to the end of your endurance.

Nature takes us back into a wordless state. It takes us out of the verbal mind and it is from that place of wordlessness that we are able to experience oneness or a sense of our place in the great unfolding of life. Nature reconnects us with presence. bit.ly/liontracker

I believe that simplicity is true abundance. All over Africa, where there tends to be less stuff, I have received more generosity. When I am in the wilderness, that abundance is evident - it is born of pure simplicity.

This is why I am interested in inner work. The work you do will turn you into a presence - an unspoken way that will heal and grow and inform wherever it goes.

Have you ever noticed how stillness leads to taking action and how solitude can teach you about connection? Pausing is always where a deeper life starts moving.
I believe that the nature of an awakened life is almost backwards to the modern world.

Time in the wilderness will strip away carefully constructed identities and return you to your essential nature—a nature that knows how to adapt, how to listen deeply, how to move with purpose.
This is the ancient pathway of transformation that no technology can replace.

Carl Jung said that the greatest limitation to a child is the unlived life of a parent.
A child will always feel when their parent is unconsciously held back by fear or some kind of limiting belief.
This is one of the greatest invitations to find and follow your track.

If you can build your life from the inside out, so that your external life starts to reflect your inner essence - you naturally become more yourself. Fitting in is somehow the opposite of belonging.

Our bodies are full of instinctual wisdom that we have forgotten how to access.
As a tracker, I have learnt how to guide my attention back to the landscape of my body, and as a coach, I use these practices to help people find the trail of their wild self.
