Nature-based Approaches for a Resilient Future: Bridging the Gaps.
Nature-based Approaches for a Resilient Future: Bridging the Gaps.
"Art can motivate people to turn thinking into doing" ~ Olafur Eliasson
Biophilic Art is a process to over come our perceived separation from nature and to incorporate nature into our identity to benefit our wellbeing and that of the planet.
Here Marine Biologist and New York Times best selling author Dr Wallace J. Nichols and I discuss biophilic art and how this relates to belonging, biophilia and blue mind.
(Update 17 June, 2024 - Sadly, Dr Nichols passed away 10 June, 2024. I am grateful he and I had the opportunity for this conversation.)
“Even if you never have the chance to see or touch the ocean, the ocean touches you with every breath you take, every drop of water you drink, every bite you consume. Everyone everywhere is inextricably connected to and utterly dependent upon the existence of the sea.”
~ Sylvia Earle
In 2022 Debbie sat down with Dr Vanessa Champion and discussed the joys and challenges of living immersed in the natural world. Watch a 10 min. extract of that conversation here.
