Nature teaches us ways we can set up the system of our lives to promote presence and calm. We can do this by rewilding – leaving things alone, and letting them find their own course.

On this episode, Ben reflects on two gardens that have left a lasting impression on him. One garden has been intentionally given back to nature, whereas the other is crowded and overgrown.

What do we need to end? What do we need to cut back? What do we need to trample on to invite new growth and a rewilded natural existence in our lives?
