Dean Hall went from working 100 hour weeks as a licensed therapist and coach, to receiving a 2-6 week diagnosis to live. Our conversation with Dean documents his 11 year old dream to swim the English Channel, turned realised adult and active-cancer patient achievement of swimming the 187 miles of the cold Willamette River in Oregon. All this through a leukaemia diagnosis, a lymphoma diagnosis, bouts of pneumonia and viral meningitis, and the grief of losing his wife. Inspired to see through raising his then 14-year old daughter, he committed to do anything to prolong his time to fulfil that role. This is the story of The Wild Cure - on the critical power of finding a passionate purpose and how cold water swimming and nature led him to heal his cancer and traumatic grief.
With Dean we discuss his radical remission, the power of visualisation, how we can let go of overwhelming emotions of the day via a process of ‘zero-ing out’, and the symbiotic relationship we need to return to with nature.
