Sarah and Beth talk about the pervasive feeling right now of wanting to escape from the news. So many people are feeling the desire to check out – and understandably so. Hantavirus, the Strait of Hormuz, UFOs, the price of fuel, and on and on and on and on. What is the way forward in the face of so much disillusionment, cynicism, and frustrating news?
Plus, how our physical bodies are directly involved with how we process all of this, how we are being shaped by the 21st century, and how we’re thinking about the primary elections.
