SFRAW Podcast

WATCH the FULL EPISODE on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/8Jjui8jjikg   This is a MUST SEE/VIEWED Episode of our podcast becasue Elin shares video content from her forest walk in Sweden that is not only interesting and insightful, but beautiful, too! 2nd SFRAW Podcast Episode with guest, Elin Weber: Connecting to a dog's inner nature, developing natural behaviors, and bringing nature & balance into daily life!      This very special episode of SFRAW Podcast with my friend, Elin Weber, was reworked a bit. The original idea was for a live walk in nature experience, with discussion and interview, but this proved challenging with the spotty cell reception being poor in nature. 😸 We really tried!  Check out our IGTV or YouTube channel recordings to see one of our past test efforts and you'll see what I mean. https://fb.watch/5PpNmOfiI1/  So, Elin put together some nice clips that are shared in our interview recorded from her home instead.
