In 2011, a University of Chicago study showed that empathy responses were found to have been developed earlier in the evolutionary chain than previously believed.

If we are *built* to empathize ... then can it be more safely established that selfishness and individuality are learned traits.

This coming Sunday (and the last Sunday of every month), Heather Carrell and I are at United Strangers Coffee in North Vancouver to sit and talk out our joys and sorrows around grief and loss. Feel free to stop by between 2:00 and 3:30pm for a coffee and a snack and a great (and potentially eye-opening) conversation!

This Sunday, need community? We got you 💙

If you've got a couple of hours to watch/listen to this episode of Diary of a CEO, I would highly recommend it. I've had my mind blown about 8 different ways and I'm only 1/2-way through it! Check it out!!!

I just found out that doctors in BC, ON, MB, and SK can register themselves with Parks Canada, which allows them to *prescribe* a National Parks Pass! This program started in 2021, so I'm clearly behind in this but what a wonderful aid in the pursuit of mental health and wellness!

If you understand the benefits of nature on mental wellness, live near a national park, historic site, or marine conservation area, and might otherwise struggle to buy an annual pass normally ($75.25 for a single adult), the PaRx program may be just the thing to ask your GP about.

Canada's nature prescription program, PaRx, has announced a new collaboration allowing its registered health-care professionals to prescribe a free Discovery Pass to patients.
