We recently held our 2019 Return to the Source seminar and by all accounts it was the best event we’ve put on to date. What started years ago as a three day parkour seminar in nature has blossomed and evolved into an event that time and time again brings people together and reconnects them to core components that make life feel more meaningful.
This year we were joined by Aaron Cantor, an incredible coach and friend who’s been on the podcast before. He was both a participant and a facilitator at Return to the Source, and it was an absolute joy to have him present to share his stories, movement, humor and support. Not to mention also leading the group in a wonderful dance party on the final night.
After the event we sat down to film an interview for the podcast, but decided to make this one a little special and let Aaron ask all the questions.
Where did Evolve Move Play start, how did it get to where it is now, and where do we intend to go? What’s the aim of EMP and how do we go about achieving it? How do we determine what’s valuable and who do we look to for inspiration in this vast and chaotic world of beliefs, dogma, misinformation, and mystery? Aaron does a great job as guest interviewer; we share some laughs along the way and it was a valuable means of processing and articulating the deeper insights from the event.
