About Nature Sacred’s BenchStories

This is your invitation for a pause with nature. Across the country, in contemplative green spaces known as Sacred Places, little waterproof yellow journals sit tucked under benches. For thirty years, people have been writing in them. Not because anyone asked them to, but because something happens when you sit quietly in nature, even for a minute. BenchStories is a podlet that brings those journal entries to life, hosted by Salma Hasan Ali. Her voice is at the same time soothing and utterly immersive. Each episode is about three minutes: the entries, and some space to breathe. Learn more: www.naturesacred.org

Spring and Renewal

"Those trees, these turtles, they don't care about politics." What do people write when they finally sit still and look around — and leave behind for strangers? A few minutes with the natural world, through the eyes of fellow humans.

Love

Someone proposed on a bench. Then they picked up a yellow journal and wrote it all down — for the next person to find. That's not the only love story in here. Three minutes. Press play and breathe.

Encouragement

A stranger sat on a bench, picked up a journal, and wrote a message to someone they'd never meet. So did dozens of others. Three minutes of the quiet encouragement you didn't know you needed.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍

Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
