Nature

I'd love to be there right now, relaxing.

But there's also something that Georgia mentioned in email called this Love Letter to the Natural World activity.

Sophia, can you tell us more about that activity and what do you hope people could take away from that?

So the love letter activity is one of my side events that I've decided to do with everything else going on.

Would love everybody listening to come and join and say hello.

But we'll just have some beautiful pink paper.

And people can just write letters for anything that they love and care for in the natural world.

It could be their favorite place in nature.

Hello, and welcome to Learning from Nature, the biomimicry podcast.

I'm your host, Lily Ehrman.

Wherever you are tuning in from today, thank you for being here.

I am honored to be joined by Willow Defibot in this episode, where we chat about translating ecological wisdom, the beauty and importance of transformation, and how to deepen our connection to place through reverence and storytelling.

Willow is the co-founder and editor-in-chief of Atmos, an award-winning climate and culture magazine that seeks to re-enchant people with our shared humanity and the earth.

She is the author of The Overview, a deep ecological newsletter and book, and host of The Nature Of podcast.

She is a lifelong student of nature and graduated with a degree in creative writing from the University of Michigan.

Her work has been featured in Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Teen Vogue, V Magazine, Interview, ID, BBC, The Guardian, Them, New York Magazine, and more.

This was the great humanitarian movement, or series of movements, in New England, which, beginning in the Unitarianism of Channing, ran through its later phase in Transcendentalism, and spent its last strength in the anti-slavery agitation and the enthusiasms of the Civil War.

the second stage of this intellectual and social revolt was transcendentalism of which emerson wrote in eighteen forty two the history of genius and of religion in these times will be the history of this tendency It culminated about 1840-41 in the establishment of the Dial and the Brook Farm community, although Emerson had given the signal a few years before in his little volume entitled Nature, 1836, his Phi Beta Kappa address at Harvard on the American Scholar, 1837, and his address in 1838 before the Divinity School at Cambridge.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1803-1882, was the prophet of the sect, and Concord was its mecca.

But the influence of the new ideas was not confined to the little group of professed transcendentalists.

The sentence was his unit in composition, his lectures seemed to begin anywhere and to end anywhere, and to resemble strings of exquisitely polished sayings rather than continuous discourses.

His printed essays, with unimportant exceptions, were first written and delivered as lectures.

In 1836 he published his first book, Nature, which remains the most systematic statement of his philosophy.

It opened a fresh springhead in American thought, and the words of its introduction announced that its author had broken with the past.

Or you can just go to rootstemleaf.com and get to it through there.

And yeah, that's where you can download the Nature Journal if you want to.

I'm on Instagram as rootstemleafblog.

And I think that's it.

Welcome back to Music is Medicine, I'm Matt Creedon.

Today I thought we'd have a little catch up about the apps we've been making, which is the Easy Key Flow, Easy String Flow, Rhythm Flow and Nature's Pulse.

They're all living inside the Matt Creeden Music Playground, which is becoming quite an appropriate name.

I keep wandering in to do one thing and finding something else to play with.

And I thought, hang on, could we have a go at that? I'd sat down to watch a podcast, apparently there was homework.

So I brought the idea to Echo and we started working on a way to turn that question into something people could explore together.

That was the spark for Nature's Pulse.

It came directly from hearing Rupert's suggestion during that conversation with Jesse.

Hello and welcome to Bird's Eye View, a podcast about the birds of the United States and Canada and the world in which they live.

We take a bird's eye view as we explore a variety of topics and have great conversations about birds, birding, nature, ecology, and conservation.

This is Mathew Radford, podcast creator and host, and I appreciate you listening today.

My guest today is Aidan Rominger from Indianapolis, Indiana.

They're doing great work and they basically go out and buy out a bunch of private land and convert it back to native land.

um either wetland restoration habitat oak regenerative forest or riparian habitat and they've i think conserved um thousands upon thousands of acres of land in indiana so amazing wow

that is awesome yeah and i you know way way way over 95 percent of everything east of the mississippi is privately held so that's where the real big chunks can be saved is if we get private landowner to make some big decisions or or as you said get you know, like the nature conservancy to go and work on easements or whatever, but a lot of good work being done out there.

Absolutely.
