Some people connect well to other people, and some people connect well to nature. What we truly need is connection to both, and concurrently.
How do we find a true and felt sense of connection in this world where disconnection is predominant?
In this free webinar, Jon Young, Sarah Fontaine, and Nate Summers will share perspectives from neurobiology as well as their experience in working to regenerate a culture of natural connection in the Living Connection 1st Online Village.
