Of course not.Today we’re looking at the striking parallels between our personal mental health and the planet’s wellbeing. Join me to explore: The natural connections that bind us to our world ……and why it matters that we wake up to our intimate connection to the planet How the Earth’s limits, boundaries and responses can be seen in our own mental and emotional behaviours and tipping pointsThe forces that undermine both planetary and mental flourishingHow we might even BEGIN to start to turn toward a world where life and health are prioritised over profit, power, accumulation and greedWhat does Nature have to say about all this and what melancholy song will she pick?Mentioned: Be my friend and get updates from meQuestion, comment, complaint, idea?
