Meeting people where they are, you learn more about what they really need. Stephanie Sarantos and Karina Gasperin have applied this philosophy for the past few years in building Well Being, a Youth and Family Resource Center based in Bothell, Washington. Stephanie comes to us from The Clearwater School, an alternative school with an exciting model. Karina is the CEO of Mujeres con Actitud Latina, providing resources and information for immigrants and latinas. Student host J Cool discusses what it means to take community creation and development into your own hands, and how lives outside of traditional structures can lead to healthy growth.

Plant Medicine ceremonies… Vision Quests… sensory deprivation float tanks… sound pretty far out?? For Andrew Ginn – Freelance Producer, Author and co-owner of Float Seattle – these are very real practices that inform a holistic lifestyle centered in healing. 
The life of a Freelance concert and events Producer is a physically rigorous one. The life of a business owner can be mentally stressful in many various ways. Andrew has developed a holistic approach to living that not only helps him deal with and recover from these challenges, but also empowers him as a guide for countless others on their own pathways to healing.
