Trees are part of a large, interconnected community interacting with their own and other species in deep and fascinating ways. In this talk, Rukmini Walker from Urban Devi and herbalist Ashley Elenbaas explore the hidden life of trees and how their interactions above and underground provide a rich array of symbols and teachings for achieving a more humble and community-minded way of life. Through weaving the latest scientific discoveries of tree communication and the integration of ancient scriptures, this talk will leave you thinking about trees in a new light.
