Ep#002 | Pollyanna Darling | Embodied Ecology

EP#002 | POLLYANNA DARLING | EMBODIED ECOLOGY

Our first conversation is with Pollyanna Darling, she’s Head Of Community Engagement and CEO Of Treesisters Austrailia. TreeSisters is a grassroots movement supporting the restoration of our planet through tropical reforestation and the empowerment of women.

Pollyanna has been involved in TreeSisters since it was a tiny seed. She volunteered for 7 years before stepping into the core team. She is committed to playing her part in bringing our beautiful Earth back to thriving. As an Intuitive Coach, Pollyanna also spent many years helping women live from their deepest wells of courage and have significant impact on the future of our planet. She is also mother of four boys, an award-winning author, singer, passionate Earthlover, women's empowerment facilitator, and loud laugher.

We spoke with Pollyanna about her path to joining the charity, her two near death experiences and how they changed her relationship to life, her prior work helping her clients into wholeness, and her own embodied ecology, along with TreeSisters’ mission to reforest the planet through female empowerment. We also spoke about the correlation between the way women and nature have historically been treated, and the vital interconnection between our own innate, natural wellbeing and that of the planet.

Pollyanna’s killer quote was this - ‘The health of the planet and the health of humanity are completely intertwined and we cannot separate them’. For us that message couldn’t be any more clear, or vital.

We intend to close all our shows by asking our guests to share a practice that they use to help bring them back to the body and Pollyanna shared a short, beautiful, grounding TreeSister’s meditation.

We spoke with Pollyanna over Zoom, with us at home in the UK and her in Australia, so there’s some unavoidable audio interference, and while the sound quality isn’t always ideal, the interview was both moving and resonant.
