It's March 17th, 2020...This podcast is landing during a week when so many people feel like everything that keeps us safe and okay has been taken away from us. Fear and anxiety is surrounding us and it takes practice to feel grounded, thankful and hopeful. I can't have asked for a more wonderful guest than Tami Astorino for just this moment--Tami shares about her experience discovering the ancient practice of 'forest bathing' and how connecting to the beauty and energy of being in nature has been transformative for her.

I hope Tami's experience will inspire you to unplug and connect to the trees, the sky, the flowers, the birds...the natural world all around us.
