Kalpana Arias joins me on this episode of the Healer Series Podcast.  I've been wanting to record a podcast with Kalpana for a while now because I think she's brilliant.

She is a technologist, urban greening activist, food-growing educator, writer, speaker and the founder of Nowadays On Earth, a social enterprise advocating for contact with nature in the digital age. Alongside Nowadays On Earth, Kalpana campaigns for urban nature and nature rights through urban rewilding projects and tech policy reforms, has been researching ecosomatics and technological ecologies for over 7 years, delivered a global TED talk, spoken at the United Nations and The Eden Project, and is a trustee for GROW charity. Kalpana is currently an environmental consultant for corporations and governments and works with leading charities, institutions, brands and grassroot change-makers.

Her work around advocating for contact with nature is deeply moving and inspiring to me. She explains ecosomatics, the climate crisis and technological advancement in such a forward thinking way while holding space for what's happening in the present. Kalpana asks and answers questions in a way that provoke thought and compassion while navigating toward solutions.

In this conversation we talk about:

• remembrance about tuning into the frequencies of who we are
• somatics and what it means to inhabit your body
• allowing our bodies to process through what is happening in our environment
• leaning into the growth edges of our societies transformation
• living through the climate crisis while holding polarities
• allowing the concept of being nature and also a technological evolutionary being guide one another
• tapping into our innate joy as a practice to sustain ourselves
