In this deeply nourishing episode, I sit down with Dr. Nate Charach, a visionary psychiatrist from Toronto who has reimagined mental health through a nature-based, land-informed lens. As the founder of Psychiatree, Dr. Charach integrates ecological wisdom, Indigenous teachings, and permaculture principles into his therapeutic approach.

Drawing inspiration from Elder Dennis Windego and Joanna Macy, Dr. Charach shares his journey of healing and resilience. He discusses how his experiences with permaculture and his edible forest garden have informed his practice, emphasizing the importance of ecological connection in mental well-being.

Together, we explore how storytelling, cultural wisdom, and a deep connection to the land can restore our inner landscapes and help communities thrive. Whether you're a mental health professional, activist, or someone yearning for a deeper connection, this episode will inspire you to root your healing journey in the living world around you.
