EP 17: Living in an Intentional Community, the Art of Relaxing, and Ecstatic Dance with Paschal Black

Hello, and welcome back to the Shadows Run Podcast!

Today's episode features a conversation with Paschal Black. Paschal works as an Eligibility Worker for the Oregon Department of Human Services, but spends much of his free time outside swimming and hiking and adventuring across Oregon. 

In this conversation we talk about what brought Paschal to Oregon; rural vs. city living; Paschal's experience living in the Twin Oaks Community in Virginia; how Paschal prioritizes rest and relaxation in his life and why he feels it to be so important; why Paschal believes the world to be fundamentally good; Paschal's experience with Ecstatic Dance, and much more! 

I had a blast speaking with Paschal, and hope that you enjoy this conversation as much as I did!
