Join Katie as she sits down to speak with Micah Mortali, the author of Rewilding: Meditations, Practices, and Skills for Awakening in Nature and founder of the Kripalu School of Mindful Outdoor Leadership. This fascinating discussion dives into how nature and rewilding are directly connected to spiritual teachings.   In this episode you’ll hear:  ~ How rewilding is where meditation comes from ~ Micah’s journey to discovering yoga, meditation, and the connection to nature ~ The rewilding of life is based on connecting back to nature as humans have become domesticated and typically spend most of their time indoors ~ How living in nature versus living mostly indoors can effect the nervous system responses ~ Micah shares a presence practice that we can do daily to overcome ‘species loneliness’ ~ Biophilia, the love of life, and the innate love of other life forms that exists in each of us ~ How a hands-on experience in nature can be a ‘right of passage’ for young people ~ Fire as the ultimate community-building tool  ~ You can connect with Micah Mortali and learn more about his offerings at micahmortali.com ~ Register for Level 1 Ayurveda School here: theshaktischool.com/ayurveda-school Sign up in the month of May and receive a FREE YEAR of Spirit Sessions Membership to start studying live with Katie now SPONSORED: This episode is brought to you by PAAVANI Ayurveda.
