We’re joined by Clara Schroeder, Ecotherapist, Speaker, and bestselling author of Re-Nature: How Nature Helps Us Feel Better and Do Better!

Clara invites us to rethink mental health through an ecological lens—exploring how our growing disconnection from nature is directly linked to rising levels of burnout, anxiety, depression, and loss of meaning. Drawing from neuroscience, psychology, spiritual intelligence, and her own powerful healing journey, Clara explains why reconnecting with nature isn’t optional self-care—it’s essential for human survival and well-being.

After surviving a traumatic brain injury and later living and teaching in a Buddhist monastery in Nepal, Clara witnessed firsthand how the rhythms and intelligence of nature can restore the brain, regulate the nervous system, and reconnect us to purpose.
