ON BOYS PodcastRichard Louv on Animals, Nature & BoysHumans are hard-wired to connect with other species, says Richard Louv, author of Our Wild Calling: How Connecting with Animals Can Transform Our Lives -- and Save Theirs and Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children From Nature-Deficit Disorder.
The loneliness that so many of us (& our boys) are feeling right due is certainly due to pandemic-related restrictions and lockdowns, but also due to our increasing disconnection from the natural world. "The farther we get from the natural world, the lonelier we get," Louv says.
The solution: engage with nature. "There's this great conversation going on around us all t...

Między Drzewami Podcast#44 O deficycie natury [Gość: Anna Pikus]"W ciągu ostatnich dziesięcioleci radykalnie zmienił się sposób rozumienia i doświadczania przyrody przez dzieci. Nastąpiło całkowite odwrócenie sytuacji. Dzieciaki są dziś świadome globalnych zagrożeń dla środowiska naturalnego, ale ich fizyczny kontakt i bliska relacja z przyrodą powoli odchodzi w zapomnienie. (…) Współczesne dzieciaki z pewnością opowiedzą nam wszystko o amazońskich lasach tropikalnych, lecz nie o tym, kiedy ostatnio samotnie spacerowały po lesie albo leżały na łące."[Richard Louv, "Ostatnie dziecko lasu"]O tym, jak bardzo społeczeństwo oderwane jest natury i jak temu zaradzić w podcaście "Międz...

Angelina and Thomas kick off the book chat sharing some thoughts on the Duessa-type character in this section. Cindy mentions the connection she made to James Russell Lowell's poem, "The Vision of Sir Launfal." They go on to discuss the parallels between this section and the Pygmalion myth. Other mythological references abound throughout the story, as we will see. Our hosts go deep exploring the themes of deception, the fall, doppelgangers and spiritual death in these chapters.
