In this episode of the Commune Podcast, Jeff sits down with filmmaker Louie Schwartzberg — the visionary behind Fantastic Fungi, Wings of Life, and Gratitude Revealed — to explore gratitude as a pathway to presence. Louie has spent decades revealing the hidden beauty of the natural world, inviting us to slow down, pay attention, and reconnect with wonder in our daily lives.

Together, Jeff and Louie discuss how gratitude can shift our attention, deepen our sense of connection, and bring more meaning to ordinary moments. They reflect on cultivating awe, moving more intentionally through life, and learning to see what’s already here.

This rerun feels especially timely on Thanksgiving, a day that encourages us to pause, breathe, and come back to the present moment. We hope this conversation inspires you to notice the simple moments of beauty that surround you.
