ABOUT THIS CURATION

The modern world has been designed to keep us siloed, separating us from each other and from nature. But there's plenty of evidence that time spent in nature (and with community) is the remedy for our over-stimulated, technology-heavy lives. When possible, some people are able to find that balance for themselves. Cheggit.
