Re-Rooting Ourselves
in Nature
Inspiring conversations about modern applications of deep time practices from around the world
All of humanity is bound together by the shared experience of living with and within the confines of natural systems and the extent to which we may alter them and still survive. Around the world and across time, humans have developed relationships with the place(s) in which they reside and with the beings with whom they share it. Ancestral knowledge, stories, spiritual practices, and daily living customs arose in this learning to live as a part of nature and spread across the globe as humans migrated, willingly and unwillingly.
In this series, we will explore some of these questions (and others) with writers, thinkers, and teachers from around the planet:
-
Does a thriving ecosystem hold spiritual value in your lineage?
-
How are ecological concepts encoded in the language, mythology, story telling, calendars, and/or celebrations of your ancestors?
-
What community organizing and decision making practices evolved from living in deep connection with the land?
-
Are there any ancestral building practices that remain in use today?
-
What can you tell us about how local plants, animals, and fungi were/are utilized in healing – both magical and mundane?
-
Are there any place-based human relationship practices that we can learn from (e.g. dating, partnering, parenting, outside community)?
