An ecosystem is a complex web of interconnected living and nonliving things within a larger environment, creating an integrated and largely self-perpetuating organism. Its parts interact and affect one another in both subtle and powerful ways, allowing energy and resources to flow in cycles and creating an ecology of interactions that sustain life. This holistic and interconnected spirituality is what creates the beauty and breath-taking complexity of nature and helps us reconnect to our own sense of being part of something miraculous.
