    Sarah: Being a Deep Ecologist at UVU

    "Have you ever seen a sunset so beautiful it made you want to cry? That's how I feel every time I walk outside." In this episode, I sit down with Sarah, a deep ecologist and co-president of the Interfaith Leadership Fellows, to talk about her worldview and what it means to see nature as deeply interconnected with our lives. We explore how her history with organized religion and her relationship with her family have influenced the way she approaches community, leadership, and interfaith work, as well as the experiences that have shaped her perspective. This conversation offers a thoughtful look at a worldview centered on connection, responsibility, and the natural world.
