Wendy Nadherny Fachon Environmental Educator and Host of Story Walking Radio Hour
Wendy Nadherny Fachon has long been aware of how the current environment affects people’s health and well-being. When she launched the Story Walking Radio Hour in June 2019, her objectives were to raise awareness of environmental problems and explore nature-based solutions. Her storytelling, as a nature walker and youth educator, and her article-writing for Natural Awakenings magazine led naturally into environmental education podcast production.
To date, Fachon has produced nearly 50 episodes and has accumulated more than 200,000 listeners. Her listener community is the key to growing awareness. Fachon urges all listeners to share favorite podcasts with friends and family. The Story Walking Radio Hour podcasts are free and can be found on the Dreamvisions 7 Radio Network website, under the Sustainable Living tab.
Most podcasts begin with sharing an educational story walk, often magically guided by nature. Each story sets the stage for guest interviews that introduce listeners to innovators and their solutions to pressing issues. Topics include bionutrition, mycoremediation, forest gardening and agrohomeopathy. Nature provides beauty, respite, aromatherapy, herbal and homeopathic remedies, and food to nurture the body and soul.
Areas of specialty: Environmental education and sustainable living podcasts, youth podcasting and voice instruction, online nature drawing workshops, storytelling and nature walks. She welcomes invitations to lead Zoom discussions.
Healing/healthy living philosophy: Nature is humanity’s greatest healer; however, nature requires humanity’s support with her own healing and restoration.
