There are many ways that we can engage with our living planet, be it through herbalism, gardening, hiking and other explorations, meditation and observation, and even artistic expressions. There are many ways for us to connect, and it is important to do so, as the human species is not a separate entity from the whole web of life. Each takes their own path. This series explores some of the many ways in which people may weave a tapestry of meaning in coexistence and mutuality with what surrounds us, these are Stories From the Earth. </p> <p><br></p> <p>🌼This podcast asks the question: what are the many ways in which we can connect with nature in this disconnected society? And how can storytelling help us do this. We invite you to journey with us as we explore nature through stories. These are the stories from the earth! <br></p> <p><strong>✨Jeannie Dunn&#39;s Links:</strong></p> <p>Red Moon Herbs <a href="https://redmoonherbs.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">
