About This Podcast
Explore the deeper wisdom and transformative power of kindness. Each episode of Kind Mind is a metaphysical mosaic of insights from art, science, and philosophy — a companion for clarity on the healing and spiritual journey.
Michael Todd Fink is your host and the co-founder of The Giving Tree Band. As a licensed psychotherapist, he also holds certifications in addiction counseling and mindfulness meditation teaching. He is a graduate of Georgetown University with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Columbia University with a Master of Science in Advanced Clinical Social Work. In between, he immersed in the study of Eastern and Western philosophy during long contemplative apprenticeships with extraordinary mystics, monastics, and philosophers while training abroad in Ireland and India.
Todd’s 2020 Tedx Talk is called “Beauty is in the Brain of the Beholder.”
