From your Host: My 2023 Reflections and Resolutions from Season One!

“So as you continue down this path, maybe, just maybe, you can learn to become a channel through which other species can tell their stories.

You can start to think like a landscape, have your mind rush down riverbanks as the river. Become the wild god that comes to sit at the table.

You can make yourself into good compost, let yourself rot, recomposing into something else entirely, sprouting fungal roots and sporing clouds that summon and ignite lightning. ”

- Alexa Firmenich

SYNOPSIS:

I created this podcast to explore how people can learn to inhabit the world from multiple perspectives, with the ultimate goal of being able to feel the Earth’s body as our own body. 

In this episode, I start the year and tie the bow on the closing of Season One, by looking back over our twenty or so conversations and harvesting the rich learnings and patterns that emerged across the show. There are three consistent topics I unearthed:

• The challenge of how we integrate others into our models of the world

• That tending to the lifeworlds of the earth begins to heal ourselves

• A collection of insights from our guests on how to re-sensitise and re-animate ourselves to the aliveness of the world

It’s just me today with you in this episode, so lie back and I hope this harvest brings you inspiration and breadcrumbs to follow into the new year…
