Dan McNeil's Spiritual Journey to Creating a Climbing Spirit Deck

Dan McNeil has created a beautiful spirit deck inspired by his love and passion for rock climbing. I had the opportunity to pick a card in our conversation and Dan read his words for my chosen card, ‘Partnership.’ Dan also shared the words from his favorite card, ‘The Summit.’

In this conversation, Dan and I discussed his practice of writing and his spiritual journey. The entrance point to our conversation begins with his work and dedication to Grand Area Mentoring. You can learn more about, and donate to, Grand Area Mentoring here: https://grandmentoring.org/

The website for his current project, The Skybound Traveler, lives here: https://theskyboundtraveler.com/
