BURLINGTON, Vt. — The cognitive sciences now tell us what indigenous wisdom has always known: that being in Nature is an important component of both our physical and emotional wellbeing. The wellness of our social relationships are interdependent with the quality of our relationships with the natural world. The wellness industry is booming, and nature tourism is on the rise. So what role does agritourism play in amplifying social, individual, and planetary wellness? Join us to hear panelists from New Zealand and the United States share their experiences with farms that work with health and healing on different levels.
