If you weren’t able to join the Wild & Precious Life Series live, never fear. This page contains the videos of select previous readings. Most of the videos are not edited and reflect the readings as they occurred. Apologies that some videos start mid reading. At times, I was too caught up in the moment, and I delayed pushing the record button. I hope you enjoy these videos. 2
