This week we explore our evolving relationships with the natural world, reflecting on the many ways that Nature has guided, invited and taught us along the way.We share stories of where, when, and how these relationships quickened and deepened, and how particular encounters kindled a recognition of the intelligence of the "other than human" beings with whom we share the planet. We contemplate interconnectedness and co-evolution, and marvel at the capacity for direct communication between humans and plants. We honor teachers, books, places, plants, and practices that have supported us to remember that we are never truly alone in a world that is viscerally alive and sentient.May this conversation inspire you to deepen your sense of belonging in and to the world (and support your nervous system!) by accessing more pathways to connect with the living, breathing quality of life on planet Earth. This conversation includes the voices of Hallie Dalsimer, Ally Rugge, Alex Crow, and Ashley Berry.
