ReEarthing Consciousness: Julie Brams on the Embedded Mind, Language, and Nature as Kin

On the Enchanted Earth Podcast, Maureen Calamia interviews earth-centered psychotherapist and meditation practitioner Julie Brams about her book The Embedded Mind, which connects psychology, ecology, and social justice and argues that healing our disconnection from Earth is a mental health frontier. Brams reframes “higher consciousness” as the Earth beneath our feet and in our bodies, challenges the belief that humans are separate from nature, and explains how everyday language reinforces separation. She introduces “reEarthing” and “rerooting,” discusses the shame and awkwardness people feel when connecting with other-than-human beings as a sign of leaving a cultural “cage,” and shares stories—from quietly communing with a gopher to learning humility through relocating a jumping spider and honoring faucet water as ancient water.

Earth Energies, Dowsing & Dragons in Cornwall | Alex Russell Stoneham on The Enchanted Earth Podcast

Maureen welcomes Cornwall-based dowser Alex Russell Stoneham, who has over 40 years’ experience exploring earth energies, sacred geometry, and the relationship between people and landscape. Alex describes Cornwall as a uniquely mystical land rich in standing stones, holy wells, Celtic seasonal rhythms, and Arthurian sites. She recounts a formative childhood experience exploring a Cornish fogou at age 12 that sparked a lifelong quest into sacred sites, ancestors, and wonder. Alex explains how she began dowsing as a teen using a pendulum, later sensing energy fields around a menhir with L-rods, and discusses shifting from focusing on geopathic stress to nurturing supportive, joyful energies, including labyrinth work and her evolving connection with dragon energies. About Alex Russell-Stoneham  Alex Russell-Stoneham is a Cornwall-based dowser with more than 40 years’ experience exploring earth energies, sacred geometry, and the subtle relationships between people and landscape. She is Co-Chair of Tamar Dowsers in the UK, helps run the Earth Energy Group, and is host of the Discovering Dowsing podcast, where she explores how dowsing can support awareness, healing, and deeper connection. Through her work providing holistic guidance, Alex supports personal growth, healing, and spiritual alignment, weaving dowsing with intuitive awareness and grounded, practical exploration. She has a particular love of labyrinths, dragons, creative alchemy, and the elemental realms. In recent years, her curiosity has led her to investigate a series of intriguing discoveries - labyrinth patterns that appear to exist at certain sacred sites across the UK, yet remain invisible to the eye and are only detectable through dowsing. alexrussell-stoneham.com [https://www.alexrussell-stoneham.com/] YouTube - @alexrussell-stoneham-holistic  Tamar Dowsers https://www.tamar-dowsers.org/ [https://www.tamar-dowsers.org/] Discovering Dowsing https://linktr.ee/DiscoveringDowsing [https://linktr.ee/DiscoveringDowsing]    Get Your Copy of my book The Enchanted Earth! https://www.amazon.com/Enchanted-Earth-Embracing-Discover-Connecting/dp/1684816858 [https://www.amazon.com/Enchanted-Earth-Embracing-Discover-Connecting/dp/1684816858] About Maureen Calamia  Maureen Calamia is a geomancer, teacher, author, and podcaster devoted to listening to land, dreams, and the subtle intelligence of the living Earth.

Pete Nelson on Treehouses, Nature’s Calm, and the Sentience of Trees | Enchanted Earth Podcast

On the Enchanted Earth Podcast, host Maureen welcomes back treehouse builder and Treehouse Masters star Pete Nelson to talk about how nature and treehouses can transform our lives. In his warm and inviting way, Pete shares childhood memories of hiking and backpacking with his forestry-major father and how those experiences shaped his appreciation for nature’s calming power. He recounts a redwood treehouse where a trunk stayed an inch and a half from a window over decades, which he sees as evidence of trees as sentient beings.  About Pete Nelson   Pete Nelson fell in love with treehouses as a child, after building a backyard tree fort with his dad at their home in New Jersey. Today, he has created hundreds of treehouses around the world with his design and build firm, Nelson Treehouse and Supply.

Journeying with Trees & Portals | The Enchanted Earth Podcast

On the Enchanted Earth Podcast, host welcomes Agathe Lazaro, a breathwork and Reiki practitioner and founder of Sanctum, to discuss imagination as a gateway to sensing nature’s subtle connections and energy. Agathe shares her idyllic childhood in Saint-Rémy, Provence, surrounded by flower fields and a thoughtfully designed garden, and describes a lifelong bond with an ancient plane tree she considers a guardian. She recounts a powerful experience with Navajo elder Grandmother Moonwalker in which she “became” the tree, entered its life story, and attuned to its slow sense of time, later realizing how deeply she remains connected to her land even from Australia. They explore non-expectation, trust, and childlike openness in building kinship with trees, and Agathe previews an October retreat in Provence featuring offerings in nature, alliances with nature’s kingdoms, cacao ceremony, and optional sessions with Grandmother Moonwalker.   About Agathe Lazaro Agathe is breathwork and Reiki practitioner and founder of Sanctum, transforming homes, offices and wellness spaces into environments that feel, instinctively, like coming home. She also has retreat centres in India and France are where all of these layers meet.
