Human Connection to Nature
Humans have historically thrived in intimate relationships with the earth as land-based hunter-gatherers, deeply embedded within their ecological surroundings. This symbiotic existence has dramatically shifted in modern times, where many people live in disconnection from nature, leading to harmful impacts on both the environment and society. By examining our wild origins, there is potential to re-establish a regenerative and connected future, embracing the wisdom of past cultures, particularly Aboriginal traditions. Understanding this history can foster a culture of respect and reverence towards the land we inhabit.
