Broadcast: In search of silence
On this one-hour special of THE WILD with Chris Morgan we’ll explore natural silence, and how being quiet out in the natural world and having places to do that can be pretty transformative.
Chris will spend time in the trees with a forest therapist and talk to author Florence Williams about the healing powers of nature. And then we’ll go searching for the one of the quietest places in the world in Olympic National Park.
