We know our planet is in trouble and we\u2019re seeing direct effects on human heath as a result. It\u2019s estimated that we have fewer than 60 harvests left in our world\u2019s soil and that our oceans will be 70 percent more acidic in just 30 years. These aren\u2019t doomsday prophecies\u2014this is our realistic future if we don\u2019t act now.\n\nAuthor and policy expert Erin McMorrow believes that we can heal our planet by restoring our natural connection with the Earth and the divine feminine. Through her work and her writing, Dr. McMorrow teaches us how to transform ourselves, our socioeconomic systems, and the environment that sustains us by aligning with the natural cycles of the Earth.\n\nIn this episode, Dr. McMorrow is joined in a conversation with renegade economist Della Z Duncan. They discuss Dr. McMorrow\u2019s book, Grounded, in which she explores both the ecological and spiritual basis of our existing climate crises as well as wisdom and tools to initiate a transformation to save our soils and our souls.\n\nThis episode was recorded during a live online event on March 24, 2021.
