Dr. Elizabeth Lindsey is the first female and first Polynesian to become an explorer for the National Geographic Society. She has made it her mission to find, preserve and share the knowledge and traditions of indigenous populations before they disappear.
This conversation is about the path and practices to accelerate learning — and to search for insight and wisdom.
She grew up learning from elders and has spent her adult life traveling the world to continue that learning by going into the most remote regions in the word – to be with people who are passing away, to spend time with people who the world would never know existed. She wants the world to remember the people who came before us.
“True masters have nothing to prove to anyone.”
