Being in Relationship with Nature and the Sacred with Nina Simons

#53 - Join us for a wonderful conversation with Bioneers co-founder Nina Simons on remembering and reclaiming our sacred relationship with the Earth.

In this episode, Nina shares wisdom on learning directly from Nature, rekindling sacred relationship, and how we can engage in the innovative work of restoration in each moment. She offers deep insights on how spaciousness and community allow for co-creating a culture of thriving in the world that is currently emerging and being born.

She also offers an experiential understanding of how leadership requires us to be in a dance of listening to address social, racial equity, and environmental challenges, and how we are being called into a new level of our humanity to meet this world in the most balanced and centered way.

Nina Simons is the co-founder and Chief Relationship Strategist at Bioneers, and leads its Everywoman’s Leadership program. Bioneers is a nonprofit that uses media, convening, and connecting to lift up visionary and practical solutions for many of our most pressing social and ecological challenges, using a whole-system approach.

Nina is a social entrepreneur who is passionate about reinventing leadership, restoring the feminine, and co-creating a healthy, peaceful, and equitable world for all. She speaks and teaches internationally at schools, conferences, and festivals, and co-facilitates transformative workshops and retreats for women that share practices for regenerative leadership through relational mindfulness.

Throughout her remarkable career spanning the nonprofit, social entrepreneurship, corporate, and philanthropic sectors, Nina has worked with nearly a thousand diverse women leaders across disciplines, race, class, age, orientation, and more to create conditions for mutual learning and leadership development. She produces and speaks at large-scale events to work intimately to help small, diverse groups of women leaders knit together to strengthen each other’s work pursuing intersectional healing and ecological justice.

Nina studied Theater Arts and Psychology at Cornell University. In addition to writing the first and second editions of Nature, Culture, and the Sacred: A Woman Listens for Leadership (Green Fire Press), Nina co-edited 2010’s Moonrise: The Power of Women Leading from the Heart (Park Street Press), which explores the flourishing, passionate forms of leadership emerging from women on behalf of the earth through the prism of more than 30 essays from successful women leaders.
