Reweaving the Ragged Edges of Our Relationship with Nature With Anita Adams + Alex Strauss

When did Humans become disconnected from Nature? Was it in the Industrial Age when we fell in love with technology? Did it begin with organized religion that came with the notion of dominion over nature? How can we heal this relationship, reconnect with Nature and understand her importance to our well-being?

Listen in on this fascinating conversation, in which my guests, Anita Adams and Alex Strauss share the story of how they left high-powered jobs, chose to walk in Nature for solace, resulting in a renewed relationship with her. This ultimately deepened and expanded their relationship with themselves and their sense of spirit. 

In this episode, we touch on…

  • How they assist others on this journey
  • What some of the challenges of this path can be
  • The great rewards for mental health, creativity, and the climate crisis awareness.
  • In these challenging times, this is a must listen. #TheEdgeofEverydayPodcast
