Welcome Wild Ones

In this episode, I read my latest BGCL Substack post: Feeling the Earth in Our Bodies. I reflect on the earth’s grief and the ways it mirrors our own. As the planet responds to extraction and disconnection, we are invited to remember that we, too, are nature. We feel this grief deeply in our bodies, carrying generations of longing for connection and balance.

In This Episode:

• A grounding breathwork exercise to connect with our bodies and the present moment.

• Reflections on grief as a response to the detachment from our natural selves and the world both individually and collectively.

• A journey into rewilding and reclaiming our bodies as sacred vessels of wisdom and truth.

• Affirmations and questions for reflection on how to reconnect with our bodies and each other.

Rewilding Reflections from the Episode:

“The earth is grieving. Beyond the sadness of this autumn season—she is hurting from the extraction, conflict, and suffering that is rampant across this world.”

“I have come to refer to my body as my little slice of earth. It is my place for tending and nurturing. A place where I can create safety and seek out wisdom.”

“We are collectively feeling a sense that we need each other. That what we have been doing is no longer working. Our bodies are telling us it is time to shift and come home.”
