Stories From A Curious Life will take you far beyond the ordinary. Through these pages, youll follow one mans quest to live a life of purpose, exploration, and discovery. Todd Evanss journey began in the gritty neighborhoods of New York City and Cleveland, where he learned firsthand about resilience and struggle. His path took him to the halls of a religious seminary, into a soul-searching retreat in Switzerland inspired by Carl Jung, and onward to Czechoslovakia, where he sought to understand the tensions between East and West. In Switzerland, he pioneered a recreational therapy program in a psychiatric clinic before returning home to an America wrestling with its own identity - marked by Vietnam, the drug crisis, and shifting gender roles. Settling in rural California with his family, he founded a retreat center for those yearning for connection with nature. Outraged by U.S. support for the Contras in Nicaragua, he joined a protest that landed him in jail for a night - an experience that led him to help start a nonprofit building schools in Nicaragua and El Salvador. Join the author as he recalls a life emerging from a privileged life and finding joy in service to others.
