Join Don Drew in this episode of Peaceful Life Radio as he broadcasts from the serene Izumi Shrine in Omika, Japan. Drawing on over 47 years of visits, Don explores the concept of 'thin places'—locations where the boundary between the mundane and the mystical feels especially thin. He provides insights into the Shinto practice and other global traditions that highlight the significance of these sacred spaces. Don also shares practical steps to create or discover your own spaces of peace and spiritual connection, offering examples from his own life and travels. Whether it’s a local shrine, a beautiful cathedral, or your own backyard, learn how to integrate moments of tranquility and mindfulness into your daily life.
