Reconnecting with Nature: Finding Healing and Presence in Every Breath

Finding Peace and Presence in Nature – In this month’s Facing Dementia conversation, Laurin Wittig and Dr. Michelle Greenwell invite listeners to rediscover the healing power of nature. As Laurin continues her journey of empowerment following a dementia precursor diagnosis, she shares how stepping into nature — rather than simply observing it — creates profound peace and clarity.

Together, they explore how our five senses can anchor us in the present moment, how colour and the Five Element Wheel guide emotional balance, and how tea, specifically the TEAlightful blend with fireweed, vanilla, hibiscus, becomes a ritual of connection between body, mind, and spirit.

This episode is a gentle reminder that healing is not about fixing what’s broken — it’s about remembering our wholeness, in rhythm with the world around us.
