Micah Mortali: Rewilding
"Micah Mortali is the director of the Kripalu School, and a longtime
wilderness guide. With Sounds True, he has published Rewilding:
Meditations, Practices, and Skills for Awakening in Nature. In this
episode of Insights at the Edge, Tami Simon speaks with Micah about
humanity's growing disconnection from the earth and how "rewilding" can
help slow that trend. They talk about rewilding both as individuals and
as part of whole ecosystems. Micah also shares the story of an intense,
revelatory trail encounter with a bear and comments on the "species
loneliness" of urban environments. Mulling the sense of grief they have
for humankind's effects on the environment, Tami and Micah consider how
modern people can grapple with being in exile from the natural world.
Finally, they discuss the barriers many have to reentering nature, as
well as ways to initiate your own rewilding experience no matter where
you are."
