The Enchanted Earth Podcast with Maureen Calamia
In The Enchanted Earth podcast, Maureen talks with her guests about their sacred stories in nature and how these experiences have given them insight into the magic and mystery of the consciousness behind the natural world and our lives.
We all have these stories, but when we give them space, we often can find treasures that can help us with new perspectives, messages on our path, and even guidance on our life purpose. These stories are mythic and connect us to our souls and higher consciousness, using the power of metaphors and symbols. ...the language of the natural world and the divine. Maureen's guests share stories of simple, yet profound nature connection, to experiences of oneness and transcendence, to dialogue with other-than-human beings. Stories that foster a deep sense of nature spirituality.
