What are we missing? Susie O’Keeffe, a Research Associate and Adjunct at the College of the Atlantic, explains how our sense of separation from the natural world is a delusion that can be transcended through prolonged contact with the natural world. Susie shares her exploration of how human consciousness is broadened and transformed when we take the time to be outdoors, be quiet, and join the natural world as member rather than master. She discusses her conviction that the long-term protection of wilderness, and the creation of healthy individuals and sustainable cultures, depends on helping young people develop this deeper level of awareness.
