WeBeTheChange: Conversations with Evolutionaries

About

When was the last time you learned from soil instead of a screen?

Middle and high school teacher Kari Hagel shares with WeBeTheChange host Colleen Akiko about the rise of nature deficit disorder.

Kari, also a Health & Wellness Coach, shows how hands-on ecology—worm bins, a classroom dog, gardening and even mapping water with a drone—restores attention, engagement, and belonging.

In Pt 1 of The Web of Wellness, students move from apathetic to curious. If post-COVID disconnection feels familiar, this episode offers down-to-earth ways to re-root at school, at home, and wherever you can be in nature.
