Beyond Acknowledgment: Connecting with the Land and Environment

Many of us live lives that are disconnected from the land and our environment.

The process of learning about the traditional stewards of the land you’re on, and honoring the environment can have impacts that go beyond land acknowledgments.

India joins Erica for a discussion about acknowledging and honoring the land, what Erica has learned about gardening, and how she’s evolving in her work and relationships.

In this discussion:

• What Erica and India have learned since researching whose land they’re on

• How growing and tending plants has evolved Erica’s relationship to the land and her ancestors

• How Erica’s professional training has impacted her personal relationships and the way she shows up for her children

When we’re thinking about topics that aren’t widely discussed, it can be challenging to know where to search for information, or even the right questions to ask. And that’s where the power of community comes in.

In The Pause on the Play® Community, we ask questions, and share our journeys, resources, and knowledge. There is so much power and opportunity for growth in being in community with people who share your values and allow you to reconsider your normal.
