How does the connection between nature and spirituality influence your understanding of the environment and the challenges that it faces?

In the next two-part series, we’re exploring a new way of seeing nature, as a doctor — but not in the traditional sense. Through conversations with academics, activists, scientists and spiritual directors, we’re examining the issues facing our climate and as well as practical solutions that lend to healing our planet. In this episode, our guests, Deborah Rienstra and Melanie Griffin, discuss the importance of joy, love, and anger in healing the world, emphasizing the need for action and engagement at both the local and personal level in the face of environmental challenges.
