The Strange is Beautiful at L.A. Zine Fest 2016

I had an AMAZING time offering The Strange is Beautiful Alternative Self-Help Guide at L.A. Zine Fest 2016! Besides offering the guide, I was honored to interview three exhibitors of diverse backgrounds, a UCLA zine librarian, a Skylight Books zine lover employee and last year I had the opportunity to interview Daisy Noemi, one of the organizers of L.A. Zine Fest, for a zine community piece <333 I love the zine community, and I hope you fall in love with them too!

Meditation: Walk Through Nature with Earth Mother Rhea Tepp

Meditation: Walk Through Nature with Earth Mother Rhea Tepp

Research has shown when restless, angry, or absolutely confused, a walk through nature naturally calms and centers yourself. A nature walk or “forest bathing,” coined by environmental researcher Yoshifumi Miyazkiform, is a form of meditation. Meditate with earth mother Rhea Tepp in a walk through nature to overcome obstacles blocking your full potential, goals and dreams. Let your mind wander through streams of consciousness as your five senses become aware of the path you need to follow.
