Welcome back to the Evolve Move Play podcast! In this episode I had the pleasure to sit down with Bonnitta Roy, a philosopher, entrepreneur, and educator known for her innovative approaches to consciousness and collective intelligence. From her early years in a factory town to her multifaceted career spanning neuroscience, art, and landscape design, Bonnie's journey is a testament to the richness of a non-linear path and the pursuit of wisdom. We explore the importance of cultivating individual virtues, the impact of her educational background, and the role of deep connections and self-awareness in navigating today's complex world. Join us as we unravel the threads of philosophy, self-discovery, and the essence of living a life intertwined with nature and consciousness.
