Lore Wilbert
knows a thing or two about grief and sadness. Finding herself torn down to the roots in a season of upheaval and disillusionment, she takes solace in nature and invites us along on a journey of healing, resilience, and surprising sources of hope.

On this week’s episode of The Thing with Feathers we talk about how disappointment in institutions and people can lead to deeper faith. We talk fungi, Common Loons, upstate New York, and all about her beautiful new book The Understory: An Invitation to Rootedness and Resilience from the Forest Floor.
