The Nature Connection Podcast is for the wild people of the earth yearning to come home to nature and themselves. In the podcast we explore ways in which nature and ancient earth skills can enrich modern life, how it can support (mental) health and the regeneration of our planet. This show is hosted by Sanne Giesen, nature connection coach, herbalist and regenerative leadership guide with a background in psychology.

The Nature Connection Podcast

It has been a hot minute - but we are back! A combination of illness and an intricate process around securing the land we live on but the podcast on the backburner. In the upcoming weeks there will be three juicy episodes from last year that still needed to be published.

This episode features a conversation between Leah Rampy and The Nature Connection Podcast host Sanne about Rampy's book, Earth and Soul: Reconnecting amid climate chaos, and the importance of reconnecting with nature and oneself.

Leah shares her journey from presenting Al Gore's climate change slideshow to recognizing the need for a deeper connection with the living world, including the impact of ecosystem destruction and species loss. 

The conversation emphasizes the significance of addressing the feeling that something is missing in climate change conversations, shifting from head-centered actions to including mindset, culture, and our relationship with the world. 

We'll explore the necessity of an interior journey to discover one's essence and connection to all beings, while acknowledging the difficulty of confronting loss and the need for community support in bearing witness to the damages inflicted on the earth. And go deeper into practical steps for reconnection, such as embodied knowing, engaging the senses, and trusting nature's intelligence. The conversation also touches on regenerative agriculture, protecting natural spaces, and the importance of local initiatives in fostering a more vibrant world. 

Youl'l also get to know Leahs' daily practices for staying connected and recommends various resources, including books and organizations, for further exploration of these topics.

They also discuss how reconnecting with nature can lead to a more balanced and fulfilling life.

She shares more about the global community who are dedicated to planting these vases in places that need healing. The conversation centers on her book, Summoned by the Earth, which chronicles her journey and calls for a communal awakening and the discovery of each person’s unique contribution to a better world. Cynthia offers practical advice on how to begin connecting with Gaia through meditation, ritual, and interaction with nature.
