Nature-in-Place Curated Picks
May 15 Dispatch

Here on the east coast, our world is vibrant. And it’s sparking all the yearnings to go outside. If you ache for something beyond your window-view, we’ve got you. This week’s picks transport us to the jungle, the ocean and imaginative destinations in our back yards.

Full audio immersion.

Press play on this audio playlist and your living room, office or kitchen will transform into a nature retreat by a stream, forest, beach or mountaintop. We’re particularly fond of our handiwork with the wind chimes. (Kidding on the wind chimes work — thanks, Spotify!)

Thinking about the future? 

Florence Williams, our friend and author of The Nature Fix, will explain “why nature makes us happier, healthier, and more creative” — and will moderate a conversation with three emerging environmental leaders as part of the SHIFT Health & Nature webinar series. (Which is a very awesome series, btw).
