Hosted by Beki & Gillian

In this episode, we explore how nature acts as a living guide — shaping spiritual practices through the seasons, tree canopies, flowing rivers, and more. It’s not just scenery — it’s sacred.

Featuring:

• Craig Worrall from Edible Leeds and 4 Wild Seasons, sharing his passion for fungi, local ecology, and how edible landscapes connect us to the cycle of life
• Lorraine Jones from Haxby Methodist Church, founder of the Whole Life Community Garden, who brings nature into spiritual and community life through healing gardens and shared green spaces

Join us as we unveil how earth, sky, and sea can inspire connection, purpose, and the sacred in everyday life.

Green Corridors: Tune into Nature

Nature and Time, Hosted by Beki & Gillian

Step back in time with us through the ancient city of York, where history and nature converge. In this episode, we explore how York’s medieval city walls and historic churches have shaped the way people connect with the natural world.

From the Roman foundations camouflaged in the medieval ramparts to Victorian restorations, York’s walls are not just historic structures—they’ve always bordered and blended with green landscapes, offering both protection and connection. Projects like the “York Walls in Bloom” initiative transform these ramparts into biodiverse corridors, supporting bees, butterflies, and wildflowers on ancient stone

We’re joined by Liam Dennis from City of York Council, and Andrew Nichols from Holy Trinity Church, both passionate about York’s heritage and ecology. Together we’ll uncover how these historic monuments continue to connect us to the natural world and ask: how can we carry forward this legacy of architecture intertwined with nature into the future?

Explore with us the evolving relationship between history, landscape, and the spaces we inhabit. Find out more about York Walls in Bloom The City Walls – City of York Council Find out more about Holy Trinity: Holy Trinity (Goodramgate) Church, York - Churches Conservation Trust
