With gardening expert & author Melinda Myers. The plight of honeybees and monarchs fills the news, but many more pollinators are often overlooked yet critical to the production of food, fiber, and other raw materials we depend upon. Native bees, moths, bats, beetles, flies, and birds are also important. We will look at a variety of pollinators, their role in the environment, and their impact on people. Plus, we will discuss ways to co-exist with these often overlooked and sometimes feared or dreaded animals.

What is real self-care? Everyday we are told more things that are important to stay sane, healthy, and functional. Given the variety of our constitutions and ages this can seem overwhelming and out of reach in our own lives. Why does it seem selfish to care for ourselves as much as we might care for others?
How can mindful awareness help us navigate caring for ourselves while being of benefit for all beings?
