About this listen

 The nature of well-being aims to gather and share stories about the mental, physical, and spiritual benefits of spending time in nature. We believe that the wilderness provides a crucial environment for people to find answers to those deeper questions in life and satisfy their biological need for things like meaning, purpose and a spiritual connection to the world them. This podcast grew out of the documentary project, "Mind, Body, and Soul: the Nature of Well-being." While filming interviews for the movie we realized that these stories needed to be shared with the world.

    In this first part of a 2-part series, Dyana’s life had become anxious and unsatisfying. When she got locked in a freezer at work, it caused a panic attack, which made her re-evaluate things. She decided to go on a thru-hike on the Pacific Northwest Trail, which radically changed her life for the better.
