    The nature of grief and grief in nature

    Monique Ross is a certified Nature and Forest Therapy Guide. Hosts Liana and Amy learn about this practice and how people grieving miscarriage, stillbirth, TFMR, neonatal death and child loss can benefit from Nature Bathing.  "Nature bathing is a mindful way to support your health and wellbeing, connect with nature, and wash away the stresses of the modern world — no water necessary!  Inspired by the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku, or forest bathing, it involves slowing down, and immersing yourself in nature in a conscious and contemplative way."  Social media:  @glimmer_project @daydot_midwifery @brisbanegriefcounselling @heartwood_with_mon Special thank you to: - 3P Studio Hosts: Amy Larsen and Liana Quinlivan Podcast Producer and Glimmer Project Founder: Dr Ashleigh Smith  Caroline Renshaw, Fiona Jordan and all our special guests for this season    Links:  Home - Red Nose Australia Brisbane Grief Counselling Home - Amy Larsen specialising in loss, grief and trauma.
