S'mores Stories: “Sensing the Mystery and Miracle of Being Outdoors"
Sylvie Rokab grew up in Brazil -- immersed in the beauty, colors, and wonders of the natural world. Nature has been a resource of nourishment and healing for her entire life and, in recent years, a source of inspiration for her creativity and dedication to re-awakening wonder and caring in people’s relationship with Earth and all beings. She states, “My mission in life is to translate … to those who care to listen, the unspeakable and what is also incredibly powerful.”
Sylvie’s story is one of perseverance, courage and willingness to change trajectories -- personally, spiritually and professionally -- in service of cultivating a relationship of reverence and reciprocity with all Outdoors.

Discover, with Sylvie, what happens in seeing the mysterious and magical in relationship with beings that are sentient … what arises from fully being in the present moment, open to what is happening to us, through us, as us.
