Green Think #63 – Natural Healing Through Community and Fun in Paris
My special guest, Patricia Laplante-Collins, shares her story and inspiration for creating Paris Soirees. She invites people of various ages and cultures into her home to create a community event that helps us rise above our differences and enjoy our similar interests. She believes there is no need to be alone, and when we come together and learn from each other then we hold each other afloat…nice image! She cooks a dinner for her Soiree guests so they really feel the feeling of home even if they are traveling abroad alone.
Listen in to this 16 minute podcast to learn more. You may be flying to Paris after you hear it…woohoo!!
