Earth Speak with Natalie Ross and Friends
Religion & Spirituality:Spirituality
Poet and educator Jacqueline Suskin shares about watching the ways humans choose to nurture their connection with the land and its cycles.
You’ll also hear about:
How creative expression is the practice of life
Moving through the immensity of eco grief to use it as creative fuel
How loving the earth is loving ourselves
*****
Jacqueline Suskin is a self-proclaimed ecstatic earth worshiper, the author of eight published books, all of which center around the earth and its bounty. Currently, she’s focused on bringing her nature poetry curriculum into classrooms around the country and her next book “A Year in Practice – Seasonal Rituals and Prompts to Awaken Cycles of Creative Expression” is available at all major booksellers.
In this episode, we talk about:
Rewriting beliefs around urban spaces lacking connection with nature
Finding the right level of human connection to help uncared for land flourish
How the conversation around land stewardship is more complicated than just planting a bunch of trees
Honoring decay
How we don’t have to reinvent the wheel
The younger generation having so much to say (about the earth)
How allowing people the time and space to dream and explore will allow them to connect with the earth
Going beyond duality to allow both hope and hopelessness to exist simultaneously
How we can’t have awe without attunement to despair and grief
How we have the power to change everything in this moment
How cultivating trust in the now can help us soothe our despair and expand our trust in the future
Jacqueline’s new book A Year in Practice
Remembering the cycles that are already in us to align with the rhythms that exist in the world
The difficulty of transitions
The grief of loosing the familiarity of the way we know the seasons
The connection between imagination and intuition
How supporting the community is a pathway to combat our isolation
How practicing relationship involves showing up for it no matter who or what we are in relationship with
