Who Were You Before You Lost Your Wild Self? How to Thrive Instead of Survive
Description
We all enter the world possessing unique gifts to share with the world.  However, through our culture we become conditioned to lose connection to our inner voice and natural instincts. Is it possible that this loss of authenticity can be reclaimed by re-connecting to our wild essence? Is it possible that like nature, humans need to return to their natural state in order to truly thrive? Dr. Betsy Rippentrop and Kate Moreland unpack the lessons that a rewilding experience in Iceland taught them: tap into the power of your first 10 years, surrender to the unpredictability of life, and hone in on your life purpose.
