Nick Mather on Nature, Synchronicity, and Sacred Connection.

What if the Earth isn’t just scenery, but a conscious presence in dialogue with us?
Philosopher and religious studies scholar Nick Mather believes nature has much to teach us—if we’re willing to listen. From landscapes that shape our spirit to unexpected encounters with animals (including rattlesnakes), Nick shares how synchronicities in nature reveal a deeper web of connection.
In this episode of Connecting with Coincidence, Dr. Bernard Beitman sits down with Nick Mather, host of Rebel Spirit Radio, to explore eco-spirituality and humanity’s sacred bond with the living Earth. Drawing on ancient traditions, comparative religion, and his own lived experiences, Nick offers a fresh vision of how we can rediscover wisdom hidden in the natural world.
Their conversation invites us to see Earth not as an object to be used, but as a partner in the unfolding story of consciousness.
