Qing Li
Doctor of Forest Medicine
"When we open ourselves to nature with all our senses, something magical unfolds. Immersed in the living world, we witness the miracle of life and feel a connection to something greater than ourselves. The grandeur of nature dissolves our burdens and breathes new life into our being. This sense of connection doesn’t just fill us with joy in the moment — it teaches us how to carry happiness forward."
