Connect with Nature
How often do you remember that we, as human beings, are not outside observers of nature, but rather part of it? It's no wonder that research has continued to demonstrate how connecting with the more than human world offers a host of benefits to our well-being - not to mention the planet's. Explore topics like forest bathing, nature advocacy, the intelligence of trees, and interconnection of individual, community, and planetary health.
