Life as a Walking Prayer
Shayla Paradeis is an ecosystems storyteller who believes in the power of the human heart. She has walked across the country five times and shares songs, narrative, and poetry readings from her book, Footprint of a Heart. Her message is about the beauty of humanity and the profound communion we have with nature.
Her work as a wilderness guide and naturalist in Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks has brought her a deep respect for the models nature has displayed of systems that honor every part of the whole. With an ever-expanding passion for the web of life, she walks as an act of deep listening to honor life itself.
