Listen "Monica Sander Burns: "Nature is Like a Mirror Into Our Interworlds""
Episode Synopsis
What if I told you that simply walking in the woods or
immersing yourself in nature could significantly reduce stress, enhance
resilience, prevent burnout, and boost creativity? More and more corporate
professionals are embracing forest bathing and forest therapy, known as
shinrin-yoku. This involves consciously and contemplatively taking in the
forest atmosphere using all of one’s senses. It's not just a walk in the woods,
but a practice of being fully immersed in the sights, sounds, and smells of the
forest. This practice originated in Japan in the 1980s and was later
incorporated into Japan's national health program in 1982. Researchers in Japan
and South Korea have documented a growing body of scientific literature on the
various health benefits of forest therapy.
Monica Sander Burns is a visionary thinker and
earth-intuitive with a mission to recenter reciprocal, healthy relationships
between humans and the natural world. Through her company, SOCIETY of TREES,
she works with organizations to align their workplace cultures with the
regenerative energies of nature, improving employee wellbeing while maximizing
their impact in a sustainable way. She teaches people how to intuitively
connect with the living planet by developing their sensory awareness and
embodied experience of nature. Her sessions are interactive, immersive, fun,
transformative, and deeply healing. By creating a container for people to
remember that they are part of nature, she bridges the gap that has arisen
between people and the natural world, which has led to ecological destruction
and contributes to the illness and mental health crisis in society. Through
forest therapy and forest bathing sessions, she witnessed hundreds of people
finding deep peace and healing through the support of nature. Her work also
addresses the emotional impacts of climate change, manifested through eco-grief
and eco-anxiety, and aims to rewrite the narrative of the Anthropocene by
learning from Indigenous cultures to become a keystone species central to the
delicate balance of ecosystems.
