A Home Beneath the Trees - Part Two

ERIK IRELAND
About this episode

In part two of this sleepy tale, the forest begins to teach the man what stillness really means. Through rhythm, presence, and the quiet companionship of animals, he discovers that healing isn’t about changing who you are—it’s about learning how to be with yourself, just as you are.
