What does it mean to find rootedness and resilience in the face of life's complexities? In this episode, we invite you to explore this profound question with Lore Ferguson Wilbert, the insightful author of "The Understory." Lore opens up about her journey towards deepening her roots where she is, valuing her past while embracing the dualities of belief and unbelief, joy and sorrow, to find wholeness and peace ultimately. Through rich metaphors drawn from nature, Lore shares her experiences and the wisdom she gleaned from the forest, encouraging us all to accept life's paradoxes and deepen our sense of belonging.
