Bob talks with John Seed who started working on saving rain forests in Australia in 1979. John explains how he learned about biodiversity and Deep Ecology.

Great interview, Bob. John sounded as energized and eloquent as he did when he was in Cincinnati for one (or two) of the EarthSpirit Rising conferences maybe 2 decades ago!
And it looks like the whole Think Like a Mountain text is attached! (I still have the copy I bought at the Second North American Bioregional Congress in British Columbia (Ish River Bioregion) in 1988.
I recently gave a 2 hour workshop called “Facing the Biodiversity-Climate Crisis: A Healing Practice of Communion with Life” with 26 people (online) which I feel pretty good about. It reflects the influence of both John Seed, and Joanna Macy (who died Saturday, July 19 during the time of my workshop).
Let’s touch base some time- Maybe at Jim’s birthday party next month?
John is such a great person to chat with! Hope to see you at Jim’s party!
