Navigating the Soul of Human Nature and the Natural World

The natural world is a wise teacher in helping us cultivate a more soulful nature within. But how can we hear this still, small voice in our noisy culture? It requires a spiritual practice of listening attentively to nature guided by its own ecological wisdom. In the words of John O’Donahue, “May we learn to retune/And rest in the beauty/Of animal being/…Feel the earth/Breathing with us.”
