THINKING WITH DAVID PATREON
Dear Friend,
By visiting my Patreon page and joining the Order of Thinkers, you gain access to patron-only content including early releases for episodes, exclusive audio, video and other writings I’m too embarrassed to release on the main feed.
By subscribing, these become available to you, but no worries and no pressure if you don’t want to access these things, I’m thankful to share this journey with you and continue experimenting and exploring.

Thanks so much and looking forward to sharing with you.
Love,
David

The monthly email update, a week later. Better late than never! How’s the book going? I’m 60k words into an 80k fiction novel, so about 75% done with the first draft. I’m excited for what’s ahead and can’t wait to […]
This month, a world-renowned dance teacher named Shai Faran visited us in Dallas.She held a workshop at our movement gym titled “Passing Time”where we explored our relationship with time as it applies to movement. Sometimes my life feels like I’m in […]
Camino Sunrise is a fun and delightful story of a man and his wife trekking in pursuit of adventure and contentment. I felt drawn to Reg’s story due to his desire to heal from the past. Many moments haunt Reg […]
Christine’s thru-hiking journey was spurred by trauma and tragedy (I won’t spoil it for you). Her path was different from how I stumbled across thru-hiking, but I related to her plight: the desire to break away from conditioning, grow into […]
