In this first episode of the Body, Mind, and Tao podcast, we explore the deep wisdom of forests and what they reveal about health and connection. Inspired by The Hidden Life of Trees by Peter Wohlleben, we look at how trees communicate, share nutrients, and live in interdependent harmony—and what that teaches us about our own well-being.

You'll discover:

• How tree root systems and mycorrhizal networks mirror human cooperation

• Why calm, regulated ecosystems reflect a calm, regulated body

• How nature teaches us to reconnect with seasonal rhythms and each other

• Why slowing down and observing the natural world supports healing

This is the beginning of a journey into seasonal, Taoist-inspired wellness—rooted in nature, guided by rhythm, and open to wonder.
