Firefighter Zen with Hersch Wilson

Is your world on fire? “Be brave. Be kind. Fight fires.” That’s the motto of firefighters, like Hersch Wilson, who spend their lives walking toward, rather than away from, danger and suffering. Join us as we connect with Hersch Wilson who has been a volunteer fire fighter with his wife Laurie since 1986. Wilson shares the Zen-like techniques that allow people like him to stay grounded while navigating danger, comforting others, and coping with their personal response to each crisis. This sounds like something we can all use right now, since it sort of feels like our whole world is on fire!

Hersch Wilson and his wife, Laurie, became volunteer firefighters in 1986. He has worked as an organizational consultant, pilot, outdoor adventure trainer, professional dancer, and author.
