Shifting landscapes: Inner transformation and remembrance of the Earth

The podcast episode discusses the need to shift our perspective away from a human-centric paradigm and towards a remembrance of the Earth as a living, divine being. The speaker emphasizes the importance of recognizing the interconnection between ecology, culture, and spirituality. They suggest that the outer shifting landscapes, such as climate change and ecological devastation, are a reflection of the inner shifting landscapes within ourselves. The focus is on descending from the narrative that centers the human being and turning towards the Earth as the central character. By recognizing and offering ourselves to the Earth, acknowledging her abundance and beauty, and feeling her pain and grief, we can awaken a deep, primal love within us. This love, rooted in a recognition of our kinship with the Earth, can transform our relationship with her and guide our actions towards a more sustainable and respectful way of being.
