Forest Educator with Ricardo Sierra | A Podcast for Revolutionary Conversations about Nature-Based Education

Shownotes Transcript

John returns to the Forest Educator Podcast to share more of his unique journey into nature and tracking.  John's work with youth led him to upstate New York, in the Northern border area, where he learned about communicating with bears.  (Very helpful to know when you work with youth in the wild!)   In each place where he traveled, he found elders who shared powerful experiences that changed how he saw and connected with the natural world.  These events helped John tremendously when working with diverse and unique cultures in the American Southwest, Hawaii, Sweden and Brazil.   

With every story and conversation, I find myself learning and reflecting about my own connection to nature and self.  I find myself thinking about them often, and it's amazing how they go deeper each time, with new meanings and insights that enrich my understanding of the world and my place in it.  I am grateful for the opportunity to share these recordings with forest educators everywhere, for a world in need of more peace, more dreaming and new ways of living on the earth.
