This episode goes deep – into the ground and into your soul. Death is a part of life and we are being reminded of that fact now more than ever! And yet, without death, there is no life. Death is an essential part of Nature. What if we learned to celebrate death and those we lose through death by creating life from it? Our guest this week is creating forests instead of graveyards by using science and technology to turn people’s remains into fodder for growing trees. Based on profound and metaphoric magic, we can connect to the beauty that someone’s life created rather than focus on what is lost. KEY MOMENTS “We turn people into trees instead of cemeteries. So instead of creating graveyards, we turn people into trees and those trees create profoundly beautiful forests.” “Symbolically, if you think that you’re separate from nature and the ecosystem that co-existed you and everything in it, it’s not dissimilar to thinking that you’re separate from reality.” “Death is the most important part of Nature. Without death, there’s no regeneration. There’s no Nature.” “I think by becoming an integral part of the circle of life we can restore our relationship to Nature. We can restore our relationship to ourselves.” “People have become so possessed by the idea of owning things and consuming things that they’re no longer in possession of their own soul.” “If you connect to what you lost, it’s so much easier to continue to experience grief and pain and heartache. But when you connect to the beauty that someone’s life created, it gives you a completely different experience.” “You’ve got to go through the creative process. There’s an act of destruction in the creative process. You had to destroy your idea of who you are to become what you’re going to be.” VALUABLE RESOURCES The Adventures Of Self Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.adventures.of.self/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/The.Adventures.of.Self ABOUT THE GUEST Warren Roberts is the founder of Living Legacy Forest, a national company that turns people into trees instead of tombstones and has created forests all around Australia. His vision for creating these forests comes from a desire to connect people at a deeper level to appreciate the privilege of being alive and of being a part of life that death regenerates through these forests. Warren is a father, husband and life-long alchemist who creates with the knowing that we are sacred beings living in a sacred world. https://livinglegacyforest.com/ ABOUT THE HOST Taylor Roark is the founder of Galliant Trainings, which guides and facilitates individuals and organisations in Creative Purpose.
