Rooted Healing
The Rooted Healing podcast seeks to deepen our kinship with the living landscapes around us and within us. This is a space where stories heal with words that weave us closer to our wild and inter-relational nature, bringing us closer to the expansive minds, topics and ideas that help us heal, re-imagine and co-create the world we love to be alive in. We explore and celebrate psychedelic and animistic culture, cross-cultural wisdom exchange, belonging, ceremony, community and nature-led healing. We also run psilocybin retreats, ancestral gatherings, and online courses in deep ecology. Visit rootedhealing.org to learn more.

If They Can, We Must: Erotic Ecology and Social Re-Membering with Lindsay Branham
Lindsay Branham is a revolutionary eco-doula, an Emmy-nominated filmmaker and a social scientist, dedicated to leveraging media and technology to end human rights abuses and ecological disconnect. She is the Founder of Novo film, which inspires imaginative solutions to seemingly insurmountable challenges, as well as a PhD student at Cambridge University exploring nature connectedness at the somatic, sensory level. She is a Kathryn Davis Fellow for Peace and was named the inaugural Envision Social Good Fellow by the Independent Film Project and the United Nations. Lindsay served as a media behaviour change specialist for UNICEF and Search for Common Ground, and was a freelance journalist for CNN and the BBC.
In this episode, we discuss a sensuous, erotic kind of deep ecology, the power of narrative in reshaping social repair, healing chronic illness through trees and interconnectivity, and Lindsay's new book on its way, 'Heartwood'.
