021 - Transforming Our Relationship to Nature (Zen and the Art of Making a Living)

"The art of creative living is not the execution of some intentional program for life, but a natural, evolving expression."

It's no secret humans have not been the best stewards of nature in the last 150 years or so.  What are the cultural beliefs that have allowed us to be so callous in our behaviours?  

Spoiler alert: It's not as simple as ignorance and greed.  It's much deeper and more nuanced.  

If we want to move more in alignment with the Way of the Artist, how can we begin to explore our own beliefs about nature, stay open to the lessons it holds for us, and in the process, transform our relationship to it for our continued evolution as individuals and as a culture?
