Join Amber and Natasha in Wawona, CA under the stars, in this first ever episode recorded at night! Together they discuss our need for darkness and stargazing. They explore how stargazing can help us connect us to something bigger than ourselves and how darkness is rich with metaphor. 

They share memories of their own experiences stargazing and touch on how both stargazing and darkness are good for our physical health!

 

They delve into the positive effects stargazing has on us humans such as, its ability to inspire awe and how it could be considered a contemplative practice that can boost our creativity and encourage us to imagine new and positive solutions to challenges.

 

In addition, they include a discussion on how light pollution negatively impacts us and our other than human friends, including birds, turtles and flowers. 

 

Come join them as they appreciate darkness, the vastness of the stars and ponder how stargazing could inspire deeper kindness and care within us all.
