Where do we find Sophia's wild garden of awakening and love? We're it. And we can see that garden in every direction, if we look with awakening eyes, eyes of love, eyes of wisdom, eyes of beauty.

And we need to cultivate that garden, with "Acts of Restorative Kindness". We find references to Sophia as a presence in the Earth, a presence in soil and soul. She calls to us to attend to Her, and to all Her sacred beings.

In this episode, we enjoy a deep dialogue with Mary Reynolds, emissary of Sophia, and botanical bodhisattva of magic and grace—one of my favorite guests! She helps us reflect on the living loving world as our path of wisdom and wonder, and invites us to become the Ark of Being through Acts of Restorative Kindness.

Mary Reynolds is a reformed international landscape designer who launched her career by achieving a gold medal for garden design at the Chelsea flower show in London in 2002, the story of which was made into a 2016 movie called “Dare to be Wild”. Bestselling author of The Garden Awakening, and We are the ARK, she is an occasional television presenter and the founder of the global movement “We are the ARK”. She’s not the worst cook and she likes to campaign against evil corporate/political efforts to cull us all off with pesticides, herbicides, GMO’s, greenwashing, and fossil fuel craziness. Her aim in life is to restore the Earth's native plant and creature communities (her clothing of choice), and remind people that our role here on this beautiful home of ours is one of guardian, not gardener.
