In this episode of 'Creating the Vision', I speak with Beth Norcross, the founder of the Center for Spirituality in Nature. Beth shares her perspective on the interconnectedness of nature and spirituality, suggesting that aligning with nature can bring us back to a centered state in times of chaos.
Through various examples, she highlights how the natural world often holds lessons to be resilient and adapt in difficult times. She also emphasizes how spending time with nature is not only crucial for our mental wellbeing but also for developing an understanding of our place within the Earth's ecosystem. Beth also discusses her TEDx Talk and the upcoming book set for publishing in 2025 on the spiritual wisdom of trees, emphasizing that the process of writing it helped her understand her message better.
