Living in harmony with our planet, ourselves.

Ritual: Re:wild

Anthology of Biophilia; a desire or tendency to commune with nature.

Intersecting stories of nature + humanity, healing + transformation, innovation + reconciliation, indigenous wisdom + modern science.

Finding a way forward to live in harmony with our planet, ourselves.

A ritual is any intentional act that that anchors us into the moment, creating depth, meaning, + transformation from an ordinary state to the extraordinary. These can be simple + spontaneous or calculated + elaborate. Coming back to the intention as the anchor really guides the experience + allows us to go deeper.

The process of rewilding is a new age term with gravitas. It denounces the fact that we have been domesticated over time, albeit consciously or unconsciously. It reclaims a sense of innate wilderness, connection to nature, that has been lost. It ignites a sense of liberation beyond the confines in which we have been living.

So, these combined make for a rich energy of intentional liberation; a wonderful spark for creation.

 

We are in a time of unEarthing, remembering, reconciling.

We are experiencing a dynamic experience of balancing extremes. An equipoise of change. 

We are acknowledging the paradoxes that live within ourselves, our communities, + the world we inhabit. 

In asking the question; where does the healing live?

We can continue to define the problem; we can continue to construct the solutions. 

As we connect to natural cycles within, we begin to witness a vast need for healing + reckoning without.

 

Through intersectional storytelling, this podcast explores the themes of liberation movements + natural phenomenons rooted in a paradigm shift away from individualistic, guru-based, consumer-driven supremacy + into nature-based, co-liberation + collective care.
