Lessons in Mindfulness from my Father, the Phantom Woodsman. {Video}

Mindfulness with The Phantom Woodsman

You won’t find my father sitting on a meditation pillow with incense burning and Shyamdas playing in the background.

Rather, you will find him clearing his mind—and the trails of my hometown forest—on a regular basis.

My Father’s unique perspective on “Zen and the Art of Trail Maintenance” inspired me to make a short movie about his work.

Perhaps this will inspire you to go outside, slow down, and experience the peacefulness of working with your hands in nature.
