Episode 33: A sustainability expert's thoughts on intuitive telepathic communication with nature, with Kristina Hunter

February 01, 2025 • Avantika Mathur & Dr. Barbara Shor

In this episode of Animals & Us - Voices of a New Paradigm, we are joined by the incredible Kristina Hunter, founder of the Eco-Impact Academy, and a passionate advocate for sustainability and personal wellbeing. Kristina has dedicated over 20 years to teaching about environmental sustainability and green building, and she believes that the health of the planet, our communities, and ourselves are all interconnected. Kristina’s work centres around the deep connection between personal healing and healing the earth. She shares her powerful belief that sustainable living starts with taking care of our own wellbeing—because a healthy planet begins with healthy people.

In our conversation, Kristina unpacks her innovative work with Eco-Impact Academy, and the importance of addressing eco-anxiety. She also reflects on her time teaching on the land in Churchill, Manitoba, and how connecting with nature enhances our learning and understanding of the world.

Kristina also opens up about her evolving perspective on animal communication, sharing how her scientific background initially made her skeptical, but how she’s become more open to the idea of intuitive connections with nature and animals. Her story about grieving the loss of a tree in her neighbourhood and her experience connecting with an animal after the passing of her beloved dog, Maddie, are powerful examples of the emotional and spiritual ties that bind us to the natural world.

This episode is a beautiful reminder of the importance of integrating personal health with environmental sustainability and how emotions play a critical role in our journey toward a more compassionate and sustainable world.

Listen now to hear Kristina’s inspiring insights on sustainability, wellbeing, and the importance of recognizing our emotional connection to nature.
