Becoming a Land Steward with Belinda Liu

What does it mean to be a steward of land - not just taking responsibility for its preservation but also listening to the wisdom it offers? On today's episode, I discuss this topic with Belinda Liu, a nature-inspired visionary; co-creator of Gratitude Blooming, a movement to explore the deep connections between nature and culture; and co-founder of Hestia Retreat Center, located near Mt. Shasta, California. 

On the latest episode we discuss:

• Belinda's spiritual background and how her early experiences as a child of Taiwanese immigrants influenced and shaped her understanding of the world.
• The moment when the Divine Mother, in the form of sacred land, first made her presence known.
• Belinda's journey from  the world of education to tech entrepreneurship, and ultimately to land stewardship.
• What it means to surrender to bigger possibilities for our lives, even if those possibilities aren't fully clear.
• How to move into more intimate relationship with the land that currently supports you.
