Course Description

Dr. Hillary Raining, an Episcopal priest, author, seminary teacher, spiritual director, yoga & meditation instructor, bee keeper, and forest therapist. Hillary is the rector of St. Christopher's Episcopal Church in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania, and founder and regular instructor on The Hive.
