What Chickens Taught Me About Healing | Daniel Firth Griffith

What do you do in a health crisis when all of the allopathic experts you’ve seen have no clue how to heal you?

When faced with extreme health problems and no answers, philosopher, farmer and award-winning author Daniel Firth Griffith took his Mom’s advice — chickens — and became a living example of the many benefits active, holistic approaches provide.

Daniel describes how his wellness transformation went hand-in-hand with a love for farming and storytelling and explains why, in its truest form, myth is a silence with legs, this week on Spirit Gym.
