Embracing Tree Time: Stillness, Transformation, and the Nature of Becoming with Sumana Roy

What if transforming into a tree was not a punishment but a conscious, enriching choice? Join us as we explore this intriguing concept with our guest, Sumana Roy , author of " How I Became a Tree ." Sumana shares her personal journey towards identifying with trees, driven by a longing to escape the emotional turbulence of human existence. Through our conversation, we uncover the profound philosophical and emotional connections humans can form with the natural world and challenge the notion of transformation by finding peace and meaning in adopting a tree-like existence. This week’s episode was written and recorded in New York on the land of the Lenape tribes. This episode was written, edited, and produced by Jonathan Zautner.
