Ylfa Lund Muindi is a naturalist and theatre practitioner living and working in Seattle Washington (occupied Duwamish land). Through her work, an intertwining of advocacy, performance and ecological research, Ylfa acts as both an archivist of and an agitator for empathic and ethical relations between humans and nonhuman others. https://www.forestedniches.org/the-podcast daily 1.0 2022-05-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eae1866b839742518a5388c/1594585088658-YLW6XTBQUHXNJSWB02AF/IMG_0212.jpg The Podcast - This is the second of four self-guided forest therapy audio guides created for the city of Seattle/Duwamish land.

It is time for us to acknowledge the vital roles that indigenous peoples have in shaping forests and promoting biodiversity. This short episode explains why this acknowledgement is essential for this project. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5eae1866b839742518a5388c/1595802400333-V0GT4G4VY6J0TZ77EPS0/IMG_0256.JPG The Podcast - This is the final self-guided forest therapy audio guide for the city of Seattle/Duwamish Land.
