In today’s episode, we’re exploring land consciousness: seeing all parts of the earth as sacred and conscious. Taking our place as reverent custodians and protectors of the lands upon which we live.
When I talk about ‘Land Consciousness’ – I’m talking about all parts of the land, stones, plants, trees, rivers, flowers etc – but also its ancestors: its keepers, its custodians, its traditions, its intelligence, its memories, its spiritual essence. It’s about seeing the alive-ness of the earth and land around us.
I’m going to be sharing with you a personal story of how a discovery at my front door brought me to my knees as I realised how profoundly the land we live on provides for us, if we just open our eyes to truly see it. This moment changed so much for me and how I navigate my way through this life, no matter what land I’m on.
“Land consciousness is the belief that all land holds memory and experiences, that the land is a living thing.“ - Rebecca Campbell

SOUL INQUIRY
Soul Inquiry is a practice where we enter a direct dialogue with our inner self. I like to write my answers as I find I receive more deeply that way, but feel free to do what works for you.
The Soul Inquiry prompt for this episode is:
How can you tend to your relationship with the land upon which you live?
Now it's time to commit to a grounded action:
What is a baby step you can take in that direction to integrate it into your life today?
