Tiffany: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Cowrie is a wellness travel platform for individuals of color to discover retreats, community organizers, and like-minded groups. Unfortunately, people of color and intersectional identities (LGBTQIA, disability, etc.) have higher rates of mental wellness needs but have fewer options for inclusive wellness experiences. Cowrie's mission is to inspire people of color to disconnect from the daily grind, reconnect with the land, and give back to the earth that nurtures us.

Nathan Cooley: Offering Healing Experiences in Nature to Help People Feel Better
Nathan: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! In our big world playground, tough times can make people feel sad. "Hurt people hurt people." Everyone needs a safe place for love and help to release sadness. Healing is like sipping “Deep Water,” making hearts feel better, and spreading that good feeling. Imagine a world where everyone helps each other, spreading love and happiness, and bringing humanity together. As people learn to love themselves and others, they help the earth heal. Instead of just getting by, we can have the strength to give, create, and assist our earth in recovering. Deep Water Soul Care offers online sessions and outdoor adventures, using Internal Family Systems (IFS) and soul care for healing experiences in nature, helping people feel better.
