I met Pat Samples when she was delivering a webinar for Sage-ing International on The Wisdom of the Body. The topic fascinated me, especially as it applied to an older audience. I began reading Body Odyssey: Lessons from the Bones to the Belly and was captivated by her personal journey and insights about developing a relationship with your body’s wisdom.
