## Resource

What is it about mountains that make people want to climb them? Mountain climber and writer Katie Ives has thought a lot about the ineffable qualities of mountains that appeal to our deepest human instincts, imagination, and senses. From how we define mountains to what mountains can symbolize, Ives and host Lilit Sadoyan dig into the many mindful ways people have engaged with and learned from mountains, both in the past and today. If you missed it, listen to this week’s related mountain meditation inspired by Jean-Joseph-Xavier Bidauld’s painting View of the Bridge and Part of the Town of Cava, Kingdom of Naples.
