What this episode covers
In this episode with Nature Mentor, Forest School Trainer and Author Danny English we discuss the power of nature and community to really ground and heal a person. Danny shares his experience of, during his early adult life, being part of a nature connected community in America that really changed his outlook and gave him the impetus that he needed to dedicate his life to bringing that deep level of connection and growth to others. We discuss the rocky journey of finding our way in today's society but through commitment and good mentoring finding purpose, meaning and passion in the way that we live our lives and the way we support others to live theirs. With community, collaboration and connection as our aims, we will find health and happiness.
