She talks about the beautiful Ecovillage park in Brasil, living together in sustainability. Parks for everyone make the mind calmer. 20 minutes a day in a park for children make a huge difference in their stress level. The interviewer asks how do we do this in the cities where there are no parks? We have to make them! People die from stress.

We have to take time out to breath in our everyday life. Stress is your enemy. It helps to tell you when to stop. There is an island of calm inside of me – meditation. Every human being can breathe – breathing is medicine. It is magic. Meditation, nature and breathing all create calm in our lives amongst the chaos. Happiness is not running after material things. What is happiness? Learning how to listen to others. Don’t try and resolve the problems, just breath, and listen…
