Description
With Dr. Benjamin Tong and Julia Butterfly Hill.
Runtime: 37 minutes.
In this program, Taoist professor and psychologist Dr. Benjamin Tong meets environmental activist Julia Butterfly Hill, the world’s most famous “tree-sitter”. Julia became an international symbol of environmental activism by living for over two years high atop an old-growth redwood tree in northern California, a tree she named “Luna”, which she ultimately saved from destruction.
Meeting for the first time, these two guests share thoughts on subjects ranging from compassion and attachment, to anger and finally, Nature as a spiritual path. In this unique lunch conversation, witness the contemplative tradition of Taoism, alongside the committed, activist approach of today’s environmental movement.
