Listening to the Sound of Nature with Susan Edwards

Imagine a childhood spent exploring endless forests, making new discoveries, and living without rigid schedules. That’s the kind of magical upbringing Susan Edwards had, and now she’s dedicated to sharing that experience with others. In this episode of 'Heal Yeah', host Colleen Zeigler chats with Susan Edwards, the visionary behind the Sound of Nature School.

Susan takes us on a journey from her early days of wandering through the woods to founding a school that operates five days a week. Her story is not just about teaching kids to appreciate nature but also about building a community where influential teachers guide children towards their passions.

Throughout the episode, Susan emphasizes the power of impactful individuals and the importance of community in shaping young minds. Her enthusiasm is infectious, making this conversation both inspiring and informative. Whether you’re an educator, a parent, or someone interested in alternative education, Susan’s insights offer valuable perspectives on how we can bring children closer to nature.
