Anywhere I go, I love to swim in wild water. In the sea, swimming in the sea, we all love it, but swimming in rivers, ponds, I find that somehow cleanses me of emotional overload.   Walking in nature. I think we need this every day. If I don’t spend a little bit of time in nature, just for a few moments each day I start to feel short of something. I start to feel anxious.   Playing with children. Just rolling around on the floor with children and playing games and you know, just losing yourself in play with children, your own or someone else’s, I think is enormously cathartic. Links:  Ben’s book: God Is An Octopus: https://amzn.to/3Iei6ub  Ben’s podcast - Rewilding the World with Ben Goldsmith: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rewilding-the-world-with-ben-goldsmith/id1685196752  The Iris Project: https://theirisproject.org/  Ben’s Twitter: https://twitter.com/BenGoldsmith?s=20   Stream/buy ‘Allies’ by Some Velvet Morning: https://ampl.ink/qp6bm     Some Velvet Morning Website: www.somevelvetmorning.co.uk       Your Daily Practice: Sleep by Myndstream: https://open.spotify.com/track/5OX9XgJufFz9g63o2Dv2i5?si=b2f9397c92084682     Host – Andy Coulson    CWC team: Jane Sankey, Louise Difford, Mabel Pickering    With special thanks to Ioana Barbu and the brilliant people at Global       For all PR and guest approaches please contact – [email protected]
