Land-Based Healing and Wellness with Lauren Aldred

<p>Have we become disconnected from creation? What should our relationship and engagement with nature look like?</p> <p> </p> <p>This week, the Cupboard was honoured to speak with Lauren Aldred, a counsellor at the College of New Caledonia. Lauren teaches workshops on Land-Based Healing and Wellness and shared with us stories and reflections from these courses. Much of what Lauren teaches appears to be common sense. However, responses to her work and interest in her classes, demonstrate the need to be reminded that we are in a living and dynamic relationship with all other creation and with the Creator.</p> <p> </p> <p>We spoke with Lauren about how connection with creation can heal and restore us. We spoke about generosity and reciprocity. We spoke about relationship with land, and about the benefit of noticing even a dandelion growing in a sidewalk crack.</p> Materials referenced in this episode: <p><a href='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=10eNfQJvsrg'>Breaking Brethren</a>, City News</p> <p>Hillsong: A Megachurch Exposed, Discovery Plus</p>
