Jaguar Dreaming – Walking the Bridge of Perception with John Perkins of the Pachamama Alliance
How can the dream of a jaguar – or any dream – help us to overcome our own fears? This week’s guest, John Perkins has written a book about this. ‘Touching the Jaguar’ is a memoir of an extraordinary life, and it’s an invitation to walk across what he calls the Bridge of Perception to see the world differently – in his words to remember that we are a part of nature, not apart from nature.
