Author Ellen Dee Davidson has published two children's picture books, a young adult fantasy, a forest bathing memoir, a chapter in a women's wisdom book, magazine articles, and her new children’s fantasy, WIND. Ellen has spent the last eleven years meditating beneath a few ancient trees, and to her surprise, she discovered that the trees have different personalities and communicate with her in sensation, image, and wordless knowing. She is deeply inspired by the beauty of the forest, and her books are full of the magic and wonder of nature.
In this episode we chat with Ellen about the power of spending time in nature and what we can learn from it. We talk about her amazing books (two of which we have personally read and love), when and how she began receiving messages from trees, the importance and healing power of having a relationship with nature, and how she stays hopeful about the environment.
