We spend so little time outside these days that in some places, doctors are actually prescribing National Park passes to help people connect with nature. We don't need science to tell us what we already know: we are healthier and happier when we're outside.

This is the basis for this week's conversation with Ashley Rodriguez, a certified Nature & Forest Therapy Guide and recent graduate from Seminary of the Wild. She is on a mission to help us examine our connection to Earth and find a more reciprocal relationship.

It's an inspiring, hope-filled episode packed with her knowledge and flecked with ways to rekindle our connection to this beautiful Earth we call home.
