Joe's Friday Update
(Updated May 29th, 2026, from home in La Seu d'Urgell, Catalunya)
In the past few Friday videos, I've referenced getting back onto the water for action-oriented message... which happens here but not quite the way I imagined.
Resetting Connection
This past weekend, Maria and I were paddling in the doubles canoe on one of our favorite Catalan Rivers, the Noguera Pallaresa. We love that it's a natural river and close to where I live in La Seu d'Urgell, less than an hour's drive over the mountain. This river is also one of the featured destinations of my upcoming adventure coaching retreat, Tilting The River.
This particular high-water session was so enjoyable to make and great backdrop for a message about Self Connection - please enjoy.
If you prefer the video with music and without words on your screen, please watch on Instagram --> HERE.
With gratitude, Joe
