About this listen

What would you do if you stood before the spirit of the forest? How would you feel? And how would you treat its forest?


This podcast episode comes at a time when I find myself looking around and witnessing how deeply we disrespect nature in so many ways—including the precious, life-giving forests of our planet. Deforestation, animal hunts, mining…


As a fierce believer that stories shape a culture and the actions of a civilization, I wondered: what stories are we telling ourselves? And more importantly, what are the stories we don’t? The ones we’ve forgotten?


Because, let’s be real—our ancestors lived in harmony with nature for thousands of years. What did they have that we don’t?


One story. As old as time.


And let me tell it to you.
