Join us for conversation with Bob Kull, who, in 2001, spent a year alone on an island off the rainy, windswept Pacific coast of southern Chile. More than 100 miles from his nearest neighbor, he built a shelter and lived alone for a year to explore the physical, emotional, and spiritual effects of deep wilderness solitude. He wrote his PhD dissertation, and later a book, "Solitude: Seeking Wisdom in Extremes," about the experience.
What was that experience like, and what did Bob learn? Did he get what he went for? He’ll talk to us about those things and more, and about why and how he has integrated wilderness solitude into his life since then.
This program is part of an exploration of solitude, one of the themes in our One Book One Valley title, "The Stranger in the Woods: The Extraordinary Story of the Last True Hermit" by Michael Finkel.
