Join host Jacqueline Rose for a rich and grounding conversation with Lior, a nature-based and social justice-oriented counselor with a background in wilderness therapy, outdoor education, and addiction recovery.
In this episode of the Body Medicine Podcast, they explore how reconnecting with the natural world—and aligning with seasonal rhythms—can be a profound path to healing. Lior shares personal stories, practical tools, and insights from the Chinese Five Element model to help listeners cultivate a deeper relationship with both nature and themselves.
Key Takeaways:
• Nature-based therapy uses the wisdom of the earth to support emotional healing
• Seasonal attunement helps us align with natural rhythms for greater balance
• Daily practices like mindful gardening or plant sits foster deeper presence
• The Chinese Five Elements offer a lens for understanding seasonal energies
• Even in urban spaces, connection with nature is possible and powerful
• Slowing down and listening to the land counters modern burnout
• Healing is both personal and collective, rooted in reciprocity with the earth
• Stories, metaphors, and ancestral memory are part of the therapeutic process
