Welcome to season one of Bristlecone Firesides — casual conversation around a virtual fireside about Faith, the Earth, the Universe, and Everything. In this first season, we will be exploring foundational themes of a spiritual practice rooted in the Earth. We are your hosts, Abbey and Madison. Join us as we strive to re-enchant the natural world with an ecologically-based spirituality that is centered in sacred texts, rooted in the Earth, and lived through activist issues facing us today.

Madison

Equal parts hippie-mystic, gastronomist, and comic-book nerd, Madison is not your average Mormon. By day he works to protect Utah's wildlands with Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance. And by night he cooks, reads, and otherwise lives a pretty normal life. Madison takes great pride in being his niece’s and nephew’s favorite uncle, his three sister’s favorite brother, and his parent's favorite son (he has no brothers to compete with).
