You mention "the sentience of nature." As you likely know, it's also sort-of expressed as the Gaia concept or "Gaia hypothesis". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaia_hypothesis ... I guess to what extent depends on how we understand "sentience," perhaps a conversation for another day.

Regardless: there's a Spanish farewell, "Go with God" — "Vaya con dios." Years ago I coined an animist version, ¡Vaya con Gaia!"

Sarah, you're the artist, perhaps you could do something with this.

I'd never heard of Suzanne Simard but understood the concept of trees communicating through roots and soil as a community. I googled her and found this TED talk. Recommended. https://www.ted.com/talks/suzanne_simard_how_trees_talk_to_each_other
