ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Even in the heart of a bustling city of over 1.5 million people, Dr. Ray Calabrese finds quiet wisdom in the nightly visitors to his green backyard. Watching foxes, raccoons, armadillos, and coyotes find safety among his trees, Ray reflects on our deep human need for sanctuary. Just as wildlife seeks a space free from harm, our partners, children, and families need a home where unconditional love thrives and shame has no place. Tune in to explore how creating safe, welcoming spaces allows each of us to discover our gifts and contribute to a better world.
