ZEN OF THE WILD (IN THE MOMENT) (PB)

Many of us have taken up swimming, forest bathing, cycling, hiking and running in the open air. But when we spend this time in the wild, are we really connected to it?

To foster a genuine connection with the natural world, and to better protect it, we must embrace its contradictions as well as the surface beauty.
