Episode 31 - Reawakening into Something Better

In these dark winter days at the beginning of a new unknown year, this reflective episode invites us to be quietly awake: to our true selves, our relationships, our responsibilities. How can we be awake to beauty as well as the darkness of the world? How can we be awake to the brokenhearted but resilient and courageous millions who refuse to abandon a planet that needs our care?
