Wisdom Grove In Conversation
Exploring Nature, Perception, Belonging, and the Tree of Life
Some of my favorite conversations begin with a question neither person has completely figured out.
I've had the pleasure of exploring those questions through podcasts, interviews, articles, and other publications.
Sometimes we're talking about Nature and the things we notice when we pay attention. Other times we're exploring the Tree of Life, spirituality, belonging, or the assumptions that shape how we understand ourselves and one another.
Each conversation brings a different perspective.
And I always enjoy discovering what someone else notices.
Articles, Podcasts & Interviews
I'm grateful to the hosts, editors, and publications who have invited me to share my work.
The conversations and articles below explore different aspects of my interests, from comparative mysticism and spiritual practice to Nature, perception, and finding a sense of belonging.
Some focus specifically on the Tree of Life. Others explore the everyday experiences that lead us to ask larger questions.
Feel free to follow whichever subject interests you.
