The Parenting Wisdom

In this episode, we sit down with Ben Cheek—spiritual guide, educator, and Executive Director of Camp Deerpark—to explore how spirituality can be a transformative force in our lives, families, and communities. With over 20 years of experience in multicultural and grassroots contexts, Ben shares how he and his wife are raising their children in a spiritually grounded homeschooling environment they call The Mágoulo’s School for the Spiritually Gifted.

We dive into powerful themes like the role of shame in modern life, the limitations of purely psychological approaches to healing, and the deep need to integrate spiritual wisdom into our parenting, education, and personal development. Ben's perspective is rooted in the belief that true healing and empowerment come from aligning with a spiritual sense of purpose—and helping the next generation do the same.
