Episode 09- Interview with Don Gies on Why Immersing in Nature is Important in the Digital Era | The Generation Zen Podcast

Wednesday, March 18, 2026

Since his rude awakening at 20 years old, Don Gies has decided to walk the road less traveled seeking the Truth and finding the purpose and meaning of life. For eight years, Don has explored the world and studied many disciplines of esotericism, consciousness, psychology and personal development. 

Don is a personal transformational life coach that works with people from all over the world. He specializes in understanding the relationship between the head and the heart and how it interfaces with the field of consciousness. He currently resides in Vilcabamba, Ecuador where he hosts high-end retreats for seekers looking to heal their trauma and find and fulfill their life's purpose. 

He is currently working with NYT best-seller, Norie Huddle on a virtual summit series project called "Help Tip The Global Domino Summit To Create Heaven on Earth" where he and Norie interview leading experts all over the world on how we can create Heaven on Earth in this lifetime.
