About seven years ago, something happened that rocked my world. It involved a Lakota elder, an Irish conservationist, a South African wildlife communicator... I discovered that everything in creation talks, and that human beings can tap into that great conversation and learn from the very many diverse intelligences that belong to this incredible, ancient being we call Earth.
This documentary starts with exploring the oceans and their abundant wildlife. It is a visual feast – capturing everything from coral reefs and kelp forests to whales, dolphins and much more.
Nature has been a strong thread through all my life, but it has been particularly valuable and I believe healing, especially in my emotional or mental health in the last few months during my treatment for cancer.
What is it to be 'green' and spiritual?

The New Scientist magazine ran their annual weekend of talks and stalls at ExCel London – a large exhibition space – in October 2024.
Do you go rambling, forest bathing or hiking? Well, here is a game changer to help you. In the same way that sat navs have transformed car travel, I am sure that this app (and similar ones) will transform hiking in the same way.
When I joined GreenSpirit in the late 1990s one of the names I soon became aware of was that of Grace Blindell.
