How to Align with your Body + Nature w— Alyssa Benjamin
“Every place and person has a belonging to it.”
Back-to-nature guide Alyssa Benjamin tells us how re-aligning with our bodies is re-aligning with nature, the value of winter seasons of life, + what she’s learned from a healing journey with her digestion.
