OM DENNE EPISODE
Yia Lor is a storyteller, social worker, educator, Reiki master, and yoga teacher who believes that “we are all nature.” Nature is not someplace we go to but instead nature is what we are made of and how we heal. In this episode of Human Powered, co-hosts Jen Rubin and Jessica Becker learn what drew Lor to train as a forest therapy guide and what happens when her clients take time to explore their own responses to the universal questions that arise from nature. Lor shares stories from her childhood and how her work has been inspired by her family and her Hmong community.
