"Engaging the Mystery" a conversation with Sue Bara
<p>In today's episode Melissa and Sue explore avenues for reengaging our inherent relationship with nature. The conversation dances with the inquiry of what it may look like to expand the commonly held definition of western science to include other evidence-based forms of wisdom, and what arises within when beginning to break out of traditional constructs of thinking and teaching. Through opening up to wonder and play, fostering trust in self and Nature, and reframing failure as an opportunity, we can explore new pathways to engaging with the mysteries of this world.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Show Notes:</p> <p>Melissa’s “Who are you Haiku”</p> <p> Somewhere beyond rain</p> <p> sun and moon faces beaming</p> <p> violets dream sweet</p> <p><br></p> <p>Sue’s “Who are you Haiku”:</p> <p> This earthen vessel</p> <p> holds infinite connection</p> <p> to all creation.</p> <p><br></p> <p>About Sue Bara:</p> <p>Sue Bara hails from Delaware – a tiny treasure of a state with diverse habitats that invite respite in deciduous woodlands, coastal beaches, and unique wetlands. Migrating species grace the skies and find sanctuary in protected spaces, with medicinal plants nestling in the Piedmont and coastal plain ecosystems. Delaware is the ancestral home of the Original People – the Lenni-Lenape, along with the Nanticoke people of the southern bay region.</p> <p>Sue weaves her training as an herbalist, naturalist, habitat steward, and Reiki Master into unique classes, healing practices, advocacy, and artwork to express the medicine of unity with nature. Her goal is to help humans remember the language of nature -it's our natural heritage and birthright.
