Episode notes

There's a wonderful illustration of this that I like to point to. Science has now proven that the Mycelium deep under the earth, which are unseen but have enormous ecological functions, that they actually respond to sound frequencies. And so you can imagine, right, that our ancestors or native people's ancestors doing ceremony on this land when they would do their seasonal ceremonies to express gratitude and to call in the rain, that drumming spoke to the Mycellium. It's kind of a remarkable, wonderful illustration of how much we don't know.

On this episode, author and social entrepreneur Nina Simons reminds us that in a fact driven culture, sometimes it’s important to return to the emotional, physical, and even spiritual in order to balance the conversation. In a world full of 8 billion unique individuals, how can we learn to listen to each person’s unique experience and perspective? Can we integrate the rational with our intuitions, and embody some of the shifts we’d like to see in the world?
