Earth and Soul: Reconnecting Amid Climate Chaos 🌱 🫶

I am honored to be chatting today with Leah Rampy –  Leah is an UNO Soul.

Leah has a new book coming out called “Earth & Soul: Reconnecting amid Climate Chaos.” 

After giving numerous presentations on the dangers of impending climate change, Leah became convinced that something was missing from the conversations. With experience as a teacher, professor, corporate and nonprofit executive, and leadership consultant, she began a decades-long journey to understand what lies beneath our unwillingness to change our interactions with the natural world. Her growing commitment to reweaving soul and Earth has been informed by leading over a dozen pilgrimages and many more retreats, extensive reading and research, her contemplative practice, and the wisdom of the living world. Leah lives in a cohousing community in Shepherdstown, WV, with her husband David. They have two adult children.
