Adolescence: Skateboarding, Anxiety, and Early Drinking

This episode is brought to you by the Dharma Artist Collective. This is the place for artists to reclaim their attention and use it to turn their art into their vocation.

Ken Conte is the founder of Ancestral Hunting School, Ancestral Events, and Seven Arrows Breathwork.

In this episode we dive into Ken’s childhood, his early struggles with alcoholism, and how his connection with nature saved his life. We explore the experiences he has deep in the wilderness that afforded him a deep understanding of nature and how he continues to learn from the land every year.

Ken is hosting a 90-minute online workshop designed to help you reconnect with food in a way that’s honest, grounded, and sacred on Tuesday October 7, 2025 at 8pm CT
