Nature and Spirituality (S2E2)
Hello friends! This episode of the ecotherapy podcast is all about nature and spirituality. It’s a massive topic that I have wanted to feature for some time now. It includes voices from the worlds of Druidry, Buddhism, Catholicism and Tarot. Click on the slim black player above to listen.
In this episode of the nature therapy podcast, I speak with three people with very different spiritual practices about how their personal practice connects them with nature. I found that beyond the vast differences in the traditions themselves, there were some very beautiful overlapping themes that popped up with all three speakers. I also speak a little about tarot cards in relation to nature connection; something that isn’t spoken about much, and which I have recently become very much in tune with.
One podcast episode is never going to even scratch the surface of such a massive topic. What is spirituality anyway? And how does it relate to the earth we stand upon? This podcast episode offers some glimpses into how different people see both of these things, and more specifically, how they both interact with each other.
You can find out more about Sarah Crewe by simply googling for ‘Sarah Crewe Poet’. Jerry Simcock’s garden therapy project can be found here and Harriet Sams’ work is online here. You can also find out about my work with tarot here.
As this is such a massive topic – with no representation from most of the world’s major religions, let alone less well-known spiritual practices – I would love to hear your thoughts and personal experiences around this topic in the comments section below. Please post your thoughts, experiences and links, and thanks a lot for tuning in!
