Place and Purpose
Greg Sarris and Obi Kaufmann are storytellers for whom the chaos of the modern world is tempered by a deep connection to land, home and community. In this ground-breaking, 12-part, video-podcast, these two esteemed chroniclers of California’s ancient wonder, explore the deepest questions of hope, culture, beauty, justice, time, and ecology. Recorded and broadcast live once per month, themes of the series revolve around the passing seasons and reflect on whether or not so many patterns of the past are unraveling in wake of a fast-approaching future. Recognizing that we live in a society that seems as challenged to remember the things it should as it is to let go of the things that no longer serve, Place & Purpose considers the greatest challenges and opportunities of our day. You are invited to join the discussion with Greg and Obi as they engage this search for meaning from the premise that the remedy to these conundrums exists inside the wisdom of the ancestors, that our collective recovery is written across the land, and lives inside the stories that are still to be told.
