What if the land beneath your feet holds emotional memories of everything that ever happened on it? And what if a shopping center's failure, a family's suffering, or a farm's collapse could all be traced back to unhealed wounds in our connection to nature?
In this episode Lars sits down in the forests of Sintra, Portugal with Heike di Benedetto, who has nearly 30 years of experience bridging the human world and the living intelligence of nature. Heike reveals how nature spirits perceive us, why our land holds emotional imprints from the past, and how that invisible energy directly shapes the quality of our homes, businesses, and lives. From a chicken farm in Iceland that went on strike to protect elf territory, to a shopping center taking in 2.5 million visitors after Heike's work healing the land, this episode will permanently shift how you see the world around you.
