Siila Watt-Cloutier - A Conversation with Nature

<div style= "mso-element: para-border-div; border: solid #D9D9E3 1.0pt; mso-border-alt: solid #D9D9E3 .25pt; padding: 0cm 0cm 0cm 0cm;"> <div> <p>My chat with Siila Watt-Cloutier so moved me, and she made me think differently. For example, she believes that the trauma we are going through as a Planet and Human Species are the same, and so is the path to healing. </p> <p>If she were sitting down with me today, I would ask:</p> <p> <em>If everything on this Planet is interconnected, does that mean</em> <em>we all feel the loss when a species goes extinct, or a fire consumes a forest?</em></p> <p>You will also have many questions as Silla Watt-Cloutier will open your mind to our planet's realities and told through her gift as an observer, storyteller, and someone who can bring together to bring about change. Siila is one of the world's leading thinkers and doers in preserving our planet and humanity, with a particular focus on protecting the way of life of the Inuit.</p> <p>(I have listed a partial list of her acknowledgements and awards and acknowledgements below.)</p> <p>If you are like me, you will mark so many points of the journey she shares as remarkable. Silla's Indigenous values and lessons are worth considering for how we all live and respect Mother Nature. One that stuck with me is to stop thinking about problems and instead feel them. To act, you must be emotionally vested. </p> <p>So this is Sillia Watt-Cloutier's remarkable story. </p> <p>Don't just listen to her words....feel them. </p> <p>And then share them because we are all in this together.</p> <p>Lindsay Patrick, Head of Strategic Initiatives & ESG at RBC Capital Markets, joins the show. Lindsay is passionate about her and her organization's role in preserving our planet and its inhabitants.</p> <p><em>A link to her book and a partial list of her acknowledgements</em></p> <p>To purchase Siila Watt-Cloutier's book - <em>The Right to Be Cold: One Woman's Story of Protecting Her Culture, the Arctic and the Whole Planet</em> - https://www.amazon.com/
