In their own words
This podcast explores roots and stories, belonging and becoming—a response to the times we live in. Through the lens of the human experience, we look to nature and the wild, to history's edges and future paths, to understand how we might walk more thoughtfully on this earth with all beings.
As heard by us
Based on 5 episodes we listened to · September 2026
Karina Lyle connects ecological responsibility with bodily awareness, cultural tradition and the stories people use to understand their place in nature.
Karina Lyle treats nature as a relationship people must learn to sense, describe and negotiate. Her interviews move between ecological thought and intimate experience, asking how contact with the living world changes therapy, storytelling, music and moral choices.
