After many months away, Forest Alchemy returns with a conversation that feels like a remembering. We sit down with author Julie Brams to talk about her new book The Nature Embedded Mind and the quiet but life-changing idea that nature is not a backdrop to human life, but kin, relationship, and home.
Together we explore separation from nature as a real wound, the healing that becomes possible when we rebuild relationship with the living world, and what shifts when we stop seeing ourselves as apart from the earth. We talk about reciprocity, ancient knowing, children’s natural connection to the more-than-human world, and the hope that comes with remembering we were never meant to do this alone.
Forest Alchemy is the podcast of Mike and Ally from Soul Fire Forest, for people drawn to community, permaculture, nature, healing, practical skills, inner and outer regeneration, and the kind of conversations that make you feel a little more human and a little less alone.
