RC Nakai
For me, this podcast was like speaking with a wise Grandfather. RC’s wisdom and spirit is physically able to be felt in the way he speaks about his cultures and how he sees we can improve our relationships with all cultures.
We talk about how he shares what he says is not his gift to the world, through playing the flute, but how he shares prayer through what he does in concert.
At times I felt in awe of RC’s ability to see and express simply how we are all the same in being immigrants from all over the world and in the way that he speaks about traveling to different countries as being somewhat of an extension of all of the land that we inhabit.
This conversation was truly a privilege and one that I will treasure as one of the gifts being able to bring you the Raw – Heart & Soul podcast has given me personally.
