Is there a word that means “connected or aligned with nature”?


In English or in any other language, is there a word that describes this feeling of a connection with nature? Not "nature-loving" per sé, more the feeling of a perceptual awareness of our surroundings, nature, the environment.

Eutierria[1] may be what you're looking for. Never heard it used in real life though.
