For forty years I have wandered through exotic and remote landscapes and returned to write and speak about my adventures, the people, and the environments that I have encountered. I was trained as a scientist and worked for decades in environmental education. Now, I am focused on storytelling as a way of raising awareness of cultural and environmental tipping points — and thereby seeking some level of sanity and sustainability in this oil soaked, internet crazed world.
– Jon Turk
Jon speaks with Joanna about experiencing the spirit of the wild; retrieval of the earth cycles; stop and feel the earth; a mysterious, life-changing meeting with Moolynaut, the Siberian Grandmother; “we are all adventurers”; the journey of the human potential; the bliss of the moment; healing, magic, hope and acceptance.

Wow – thank you both so much. That was a remarkable interview.
Thank you Jon for your kindness of sharing your beautiful story and good luck with your new book.
Not sure why this site has changed it’s protocol for dowloads, but having to add my email address every time I would like to listen to a podcast is something I feel that is totally unnecessary. I get an email notifying me of your podcasts and then get sent to this page? Why the change Future Primitive?
wonderful interview ,beautiful man talking to a beautiful woman ,made me cry …
Your beautiful conversation with Jon Turk touched me to my core and initiated a sacred longing that is so familiar to me. Your questions, so thoughtful and courageous, and his answers, so lived and so deeply loving of this earth, of memory, of openness to wonder, of breath, affirms my soul and prods me to stand up; to accept calling for this gift it is. The words ‘thank you’ are not resonant enough so I will stand here and send you both, the energy of this moment and bless you with the energy of love and recognition.
