Animism: Listening to the Land Podcast

A great dialogue with Martin Lee Mueller on how to be a good relative. How to work towards being more fully human through our relationship with the broader, wilder world we belong to. How do we apprentice ourselves to place and to other beings?

A really great interview with Dr. Rune Hjarno Rasmussen, a major contributor to animist dialogue, land relationality and someone breathing life into Animist practices in Europe.

A mini-episode. A reading of an essay on making outdoor education and wildlife tracking more relational.

This is a fun and thought-provoking episode with Sophie Strand. She is a brilliant writer, story teller and animism who is publishing several works in the next year.  Her work is exploding on social media and I hope she reaches many readers and listeners with her embodied ideas. May they spread like spores in many directions on the wind.

A brief and concise introduction to Animism.  This is a solo episode.

Nathan and I have returned to share more on Animism.  In this episode we share stories of connecting with the rising energy of renewal and rebirth of spring.  Sandhill cranes, nesting hawks, wildflowers and encounters with belonging.

In this episode we discuss what it means to practice acknowledgement of places and beings in our life in a respectful way. Especially, the practice of land acknowledgement.

After months away from recording, we return to share our stories. The common theme in this one is re-connecting to land after experiences and periods of time when we feel disconnected. Re-membering as in being re-immersed in our wild community and feeling that we belong.

In this episode, Fil shares some fun and inspiring animist poems. This one is short and sweet. Enjoy!

In this interview, Fil interviews Nathan. Asking questions about his relationship with Animism, land and more.

This time, we dive more deeply into cosmology. What is cosmology? How does it shape how we see the world and live in it? What ways do our cultural stories shape our lives, relationships and expectations?

This episode is about the language of animacy. How does language shape our relationship to the living world? What are the languages of the land?

Nathan and I introduce animism as a way of being in connection with the living world. We discuss reciprocity, respect, the practice of giving attention to the other-than-human beings and more.
