Angie Jenson, on Mormon excommunication & challenging rules, wildland firefighting & tree activism, solo world travel & a revelatory experience in a Buddhist monastery

Angie Jenson was brought up in the Mormon church and, when she was a young woman, she sought excommunication from The Church. She talks with Adam Williams about why she felt that was necessary and about the formal exit interview that she went through to make it happen.

They talk about her 20+ years of solo international traveling, and how that traveling has influenced her spiritual growth, including a revelatory experience at a Buddhist monastery in Sri Lanka.

Angie also talks about her years as a wildland firefighter, working on helitack and hotshot crews, including a season Down Under. And how she became a “tree activist” along the way. Among other things.
