In this special holiday episode @SriMati and activist @tyler_yarrow_  give thanks for the Tongass region of Southeast Alaska, one of the last untouched forest wildernesses on the planet. In this heart felt connection Tyler and Julie share their personal experience of the awe-inspiring beauty and near-incomprehensible vastness of this sacred region at a time when its environmental protections are being dismantled by the Trump administration via the disbanding of The Roadless Rule. They discuss the life-giving communion of trees and the fright-giving tendencies of bears as Julie recollects her childhood in Anchorage and Tyler expands into her divine life blueprint of protector and guardian of these robust and vibrant ecosystems.
