Awe – We’ve forgotten how to open up to new possibilities!

Health

I want you to close your eyes and take yourself back to when you were walking along a bush track, or along the beach and just stop. You look around your surroundings, listen to the birds and smell the air of the eucalyptus or seas spray. That sense of awe is what our next guest describes as ‘a testament to the power of nature to move the human spirit to motivate greater care for the environment. This podcast is fundamentally fascinating!
