Sacred Nature Radio
The spiritual nature of ecology. The ecological nature of spirit.
Hosted by Duir Wydd
About the show
Where science meets spirit
Sacred Nature Radio is a podcast that explores the spiritual nature of ecology and the ecological nature of spirit. It bridges science and spirituality, ancient and modern, and Eastern and Western. The intention is simple and ambitious: to fertilize minds for the emergence of an integral and regenerative paradigm, one in which human potential can expand in creative synergy.
The show began with a question at the edge of medicine and physics, explored in the pilot episode, Translating Qì 氣. From there, the conversations have moved outward, into naturopathic and East Asian medicine, plant medicine, spiritual ecology, dreaming and ritual, Hermetic and Christian mysticism, metamodern philosophy, and even a conversation with an AI.
Along with interviews, the show makes room for poetry, prayer, and story. Audio Triptych is three poems; A Samhain Prayer marks the turning of the year; and A Lovecraftian Love Story is a piece of cosmic fiction.
