The Life-Changing Practice of Forest Healing
Episode description
Join Gregory Ripley and me as we dive into the balance of ego, the influence of social media, and the importance of silence in discovering our true selves. Explore the practice of forest bathing, its benefits for mental and physical health, and its roots in Japanese tradition. Gregory shares wisdom from his book, ‘’The Hundred Remedies of the Tao: Spiritual Wisdom for Interesting Times’’ and we discuss transformative nature immersion.
