Standing in the Circle with Cancer week 2: ACER members Rebekah and Kim

We explore connectedness as medicine across 3 levels: connection to self, to others, and to the living world. In this episode we meet two members of the ACER community with two different paths and a shared truth: we are not meant to carry these things alone.
