There are literally piles of research about the benefits of contact with nature for human beings, and most of the time, we think of 'forest experiences' primarily for children. Monica Eastway shares her work with people who are in their 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's, and why nature is vital for this segment of our community. She shares stories of how nature experiences improve the quality of life for those in managed or skilled care facilities, and her quest to facilitate change
as a true paradigm shift for ALL of us.
We discuss some of the work that's being done in the Netherlands, Finland and Esalen, CA, and the impact that nature can have for families and people of all ages. Her vision includes helping our American fear of 'growing old' and seeing the aging process with grace, self acceptance and even joy.
