In this episode of Too Curious MDs, Dr. Suraiya Rahman speaks with Deborah Anderson (Aura), an artist and filmmaker whose work has evolved from photography into immersive storytelling centered on Indigenous voices and the relationship between humanity and Mother Earth.
The conversation explores her global journey across multiple continents, where she lived among Indigenous communities, participated in ceremonies, and captured their languages and perspectives. Through experiences with plant medicine, grounding practices, and deep listening, Deborah reflects on how presence, curiosity, and reconnection to nature can guide us back to our true selves and reshape how we live in the modern world.
