Outside in the Autumn

Wellness Loud
About this episode

Our stories today get you out into the fresh autumn air to watch the leaves turn and fall. We’ll start with The Corn Maze or the Say Yes Club, where we’ll travel with some friends out into the country and try our luck at getting lost and then found among the stalks. Then we’ll step into the garden in Rosemary for Remembrance, to cut and cure the gourds, to smell the herbs at the end of their harvest, and to appreciate the nature in and around us. Finally, we’ll put on our helmets and peddle out of town in Autumn Ride, to let the leaves rain down on us and ring our bike bells under the trees.

Begin Again meditation on First This.
