EarthRising Podcast
EarthRising is a podcast about connecting to our planet through the arts, spirituality, and conservation. We will explore how to be in greater connection with the natural world in order to benefit our mental and emotional well being. Show guests will include artists, authors, spiritual teachers, and guardians of the natural world. By listening to their stories, we will learn how they honor the environment through their insights, service and actions. In turn, we may gain insights about how to be better stewards of the earth. This podcast will aim to create a framework to weave together various art forms, spiritual thought, and environmental conservation throughout the episodes. This will reveal universal themes that encourage self-growth, community empowerment, and environmental stewardship for those who feel called to take action on behalf of the planet. With your host Erin Haley
