I love SAND and listen to every episode but why is it that our rapidly growing population, well on its way to 9 billion humans is not factored into the talks on climate crisis and impending shortage of resources solved with indigenous ideology. We need wiser thinking than the beauty of indigenous ideology.
The content on these podcasts is so refreshing, deep, nuanced and soothing. I see so many teachers and communities I once respected spiritual bypassing the realities across the globe. This podcast is music to my entire system, interweaving spirituality with real life in the flesh. Thank you for being a safe haven and a place I feel connected.

I really appreciate the way and this style this is created, and most of all the fundamental and ultra important themes coming on. Thank you.
So powerful, inspiring and spiritual, yet invoking us to do more. Profound
