In this episode of Gaia Gossip, host Aicila Lewis of Her Many Voices is joined by Julie Brahms, earth-centered psychotherapist, meditation teacher, and author of The Nature Embedded Mind.
Together, they explore what happens when we stop seeing ourselves as separate from nature and remember that we are part of the living world around us.
Julie shares how re-earthing ourselves and reconnecting with the natural world can help us become more present, deepen our relationships, and rediscover kinship and belonging. They talk about trusting our senses and intuition, learning to listen to the Earth, and moving away from a relationship with nature rooted in extraction and entitlement toward one rooted in respect, responsibility, and love.
Because what we do to the Earth, we ultimately do to ourselves.
Re-root with us by tuning in for an invigorating episode about remembering our connections, and of course, with plenty of dirt from Mother Earth.
